Guest Speaker:

Brett Oppegaard, PhD
"GenAI as a Writing Coach: Experiments in Emerging Technologies that Support Human Writers Rather Than Replacing Them"

Dr. Brett Oppegaard has created multiple "human in the loop" GenAI writing tools, including one for Journalism ([www.JournalismWatchdogs.org](http://www.journalismwatchdogs.org/)) and one for Audio Description ([www.AccessHound.com](http://www.accesshound.com/)). He will talk about his experiences as a maker and a user of GenAI tools to improve compositional practices.

Dr. Brett Oppegaard is a Professor at the University of Hawai‘i and serving as a Visiting Instructor in the Communication Department at Oregon Tech this academic year, co-creating a new UX certificate for the university. Dr. Oppegaard researches media-production processes, including compositional practices, as well as writing products, at intersections of Disability Studies, Journalism, Generative AI (GenAI), Interaction Design, and Digital Inequalities.
