Shane Shukis

Shane Shukis is a Continuing Lecturer in the University Writing Program at the University of California, Riverside, where he specializes in composition, rhetoric, and popular culture. Dr. Shukis brings a unique perspective to the writing classroom, drawing on his previous experience as a curator, art critic, and scholar of literature, rhetoric, and technology. These experiences have resulted in a passion for exploring the evolving landscape of human expression. He is particularly interested in the ethical implications of AI for writing and creativity, exploring the tension between classical humanist values and the challenges posed by post-humanist perspectives on agency and authorship in the digital age. Dr. Shukis champions AI literacy as a core competency for students and educators alike, believing that a nuanced understanding of AI technologies and their ethical implications will be essential for defining what it means to be human in a future increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
