Do they still recognize the value of reading now that AI offers tools that would seemingly supplant traditional reading practices? Humanities faculty and teaching assistants are invited to participate in a workshop designed to present and gather ideas about how we can continue to develop the motivation, skill, and appreciation of reading in Notre Dame students.
