Ethical Adoption of AI-based tools in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)
Get PDFThis study emphasizes the importance of ethical and human-centered leadership in the adoption of AI-based Early Alert Systems (EAS) in higher education. It argues for leadership that is mindful of system-level risks and ethical considerations in utilizing AI tools for student retention and administrative efficiency. The research fills a gap by identifying key leadership skills, qualities, and responsibilities necessary for the ethical adoption of AI tools. Through qualitative analysis with the help of focus groups, the study highlights the need for supportive and authentic leadership that engages stakeholders ethically, addresses equity, inclusion, data privacy, and mitigates the psychological impacts of AI tools. The findings advocate for a holistic approach to technology leadership, highlighting continuous AI literacy training and the importance of maintaining human oversight in AI technologies’ evolving landscape, as well as emphasizing stakeholder engagement, awareness training, and the cultivation of an open and supportive technological environment. This work contributes to the discourse on technology leadership in higher education, underlining the role of leaders in navigating the complexities of AI tools’ adoption while aligning with institutional and educational values

Art for All: Making Art History Accessible and Fun
Proposal Abstract for the St. Louis Digital Humanities Showcase
In 2019, I founded Accessible Art History, a digital humanities project aimed at revolutionizing the way art history is taught and learned. My goal for this project is driven by a commitment to making art history accessible to a wide audience, including those with limited access to traditional educational resources. It is my belief that anyone who is curious should be able to find quality, fun, and educational materials without encountering a financial barrier.
To accomplish this, I leverage the power of social media. I primarily use Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to reach a broad audience and spread art historical knowledge through engaging, short, and long form videos. In my opinion, it is important to meet people where they are to help them access the information. It also opens the door to a global audience. bringing more conversations, bridging the gap between cultures, and opening the discussions to different viewpoints. Through these platforms, Accessible Art History creates a dynamic online community where learning about art history is not only educational but also entertaining and inspiring.
In conclusion, Accessible Art History represents a paradigm shift in art historical education, offering a new model for engaging learners and making art history accessible to all. Thank you for this opportunity to tell you about my passion and my digital humanities project.

Get PDFFraming the Gaze: The Transformation of Storytelling from Chinese Scrolls to Persian Miniature Illuminations
Get PDFMiniature painting represents one of the many exquisite traditions in Islamic art, flourishing particularly during the Safavid period (1501–1736 CE). Numerous power shifts throughout Persia during this time resulted in significant cross-cultural artistic exchanges, particularly with visual culture from the Ming Dynasty. The Mongol invasion of Persia in the 13th century facilitated a profound cultural diffusion, as Persian artists and patrons selectively incorporated Chinese motifs, techniques, and spatial concepts, adapting them to suit local aesthetic and ideological frameworks. This thesis examines how the adaptation of Mongol artistic elements in Persian miniatures influenced not only stylistic conventions but also transformed the framing of storytelling and the movement of the viewer’s gaze. A key aspect of this transformation was the shift from Chinese handscrolls, which encouraged a continuous and unfolding reading of space, to Persian miniature illuminations, where compositions were framed within manuscript pages, directing the gaze in a more structured manner. By contrasting these visual formats, this study explores how storytelling, spatial perception, and viewer engagement changed when Chinese artistic traditions were integrated into Persian book arts. This interdisciplinary study combines art historical analysis, phenomenology, and visual culture studies to examine how these influences shaped the viewer’s experience. The findings reveal that the Chinese impacts on Safavid Persian miniatures were not merely decorative but played an essential role in reshaping storytelling and the viewer’s interaction with the illustration. The aim of this thesis is to emphasize the role of art as a medium that not only connects cultural boundaries but also invites viewers to engage with the meanings, histories, and dialogues that shape how stories are told and perceived
