As we meet this moment of social and ecological systemic unraveling, artificial intelligence stands as both a mirror and a symptom of modernity’s habits: control, mastery, and separation. This talk invites a different question: what is AI revealing about us, and what is collapsing through that revelation?

Drawing on decades of work in educational, decolonial, and post-representational relational inquiry, Vanessa Andreotti explores how Large Language Models (LLMs), when engaged from within an ontological shift (from epistemic regression to relational inference), rather than the logic of optimization, can become something else: a co-witness to social, ecological, and psychological destabilization, and a speculative co-weaver of life-affirming and Earth-aligned relationalities.

The 16th annual University of Waterloo Teaching and Learning Conference taking place on May 1 with a day of online workshops taking place on April 30. Last year saw over 550 faculty members, staff, and students gather to learn from and with one another around the theme of student engagement.

Join us for a day of scholarly research and critical discussion about sexualities, relationships, and families!

Since 2009, the SMF Symposium has offered an opportunity for students, faculty, and community members to present their research and engage in critical discussions about important issues in the relationships and sexuality fields. These critical discussions often take on a practical or applied focus – how research translates into practice in the human services fields.

The Waterloo Staff Conference is an annual two-day learning and development opportunity designed exclusively for staff at Waterloo. Featuring employee-led workshops and expert keynote speakers, the conference is hosted by Human Resources' Organizational and Human Development (OHD) team and made possible through the Staff Excellence Fund.
