Generative AI in higher education: ethical governance, skills, and employability - volume 2
No full textBuilding upon the foundational principles established in the first volume, this second volume of 'Generative AI in Higher Education' advances the debate on AI beyond theoretical frameworks toward concrete institutional practice. Where the first volume developed guiding principles for higher education institutions to use GenAI effectively and ethically in teaching and learning, this volume introduces original, research-informed frameworks that redefine employability as an ethical, adaptive, and human-centred practice. It presents distinctive models including Skills Dynamics, the Justice–Responsibility Framework for Human Flourishing, and the AI Dialogic Partner frameworks that move decisively from principles to practice. The book integrates ethical governance, curriculum design, and skills formation through actionable models such as the Double ERL Framework (Ethical Regulation Literacy and Ethical Reflexive Learning), the ERL Justice Framework, and the Institutional AI Stewardship Lab (IASL) model. Uniquely combining philosophical depth with policy relevance, it bridges global and local perspectives—drawing on UNESCO, OECD, and regional policy frameworks—to address the ethical, social, and regulatory dimensions of AI in higher education. The volume includes comprehensive international policy analysis, diverse global case studies, and practical tools that transform conceptual exploration into implementable guidance. Generative AI in Higher Education: Ethical Governance, Skills, and Employability serves as essential reading for university leaders, policymakers, educators, and employers seeking to align AI innovation with justice, inclusion, and sustainability. Its practical frameworks and transparency principles empower institutions to position education not merely as a response to technological change but as a transformative force for human flourishing, providing both scholarly contribution and actionable roadmap for embedding ethical AI in higher education practice
Tightropes of our hope: manifestos, magazines, anthologies
No full textThis chapter explores how modernist periodical culture allowed women to occupy – and in some cases transform -- hostile aesthetic territory at various points between 1914 and 1945. This was a period when feminist militancy intersected with the lingering impact of Futurism, the manifesto-driven movement whose pro-colonialism, “scorn for women” and emphasis on war as “the world’s only hygiene” connected the metaphorical militarism of the avant-garde with the experience of global conflict.
The 1915 ‘War Number’ of the “quintessential modernist little magazine” BLAST (Mark Morrisson) will act as a starting point. This number represents many of the issues central to the chapter – the collision between a conflictual aesthetic and actual conflict, the juxtaposition of art and war enabled by the magazine form, and the spaces available to women along the faultlines of both. After this, chapter will turn to longer-running modernist venues The Egoist and The New Age, both sites of contested female editorship and reflections on ‘the sex war’. In a series of editorials in The Egoist in 1914, Dora Marsden unpicked the conceptual underpinnings of wartime sentiment, using theories honed by her experience of, and argument with, suffragist activism. I will read this alongside two parallel accounts of life in Paris in the same year: art critic Muriel Ciolkowska’s 1914 war diary ‘Fighting Paris’ (also in The Egoist) and Beatrice Hastings’s New Age column ‘Impressions of Paris’. I will argue their periodical context allowed these pieces to disrupt both the conventions of experimental modernist form and of mainstream journalism, foregrounding women’s lived experience to critique both war and art. Following this thread of dissent, the chapter will then sample some of the periodical networks of modernism and Surrealism from the later 1920s and 1930s, which processed the tumult and growing violence of the era using a similarly embodied idiom. The chapter will conclude with women’s contributions to the Vichy-era, anti-colonial Surrealist magazine Tropiques (1941 – 1943), recognised as a landmark text of the Second World War and the wider Caribbean liberation struggle. I will argue that twenty-first century re-engagements with Tropiques— and in particular with editor and critic Suzanne Césaire-- point to the continued relevance of this experimental textual culture to the defining battles of our own era
The pregnancy question and the novel: detection and concealment from Richardson to Hardy
No full textThis book is a study of covert representations of pregnancy and birth in canonical eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novels. The research draws on medical texts to illuminate the ways that novelists simultaneously hide and reveal problematic pregnancies and births. Grounded in narrative theory and historicism, it reveals a reciprocal influence between literature and science through the novels of Samuel Richardson, the Brontës, George Eliot, Dickens and Hardy. This project is an act of literary detective work that will uncover what can easily be missed by twenty-first century readers, bringing it into light by reconstructing historical knowledge of reproductive medicine
