Exploring the Future of Literary Research: Carmel Faculty at AI & Literature Workshop
A Confluence of Literature and Innovation
On 22nd August 2024, two faculty members from the Department of English, Carmel College of Arts, Science and Commerce for Women, Nuvem, participated in a one-day state-level workshop titled ‘Harnessing AI for Research in English Literature’ at DM’s College, Assagaõ, Bardez, Goa. The event, aimed at academicians, scholars, and students, was conducted by Dr. Prasad Kulkarni from Gogate College of Technology, Belgaum. Faculty members Ms. Roxana Singh and Ms. Ashwini Kumar represented Carmel College at the workshop.
From Theory to Hands-On Learning
The day began with an inaugural session and refreshments, followed by two interactive sessions—one before and one after lunch. The workshop offered insights into a variety of free AI tools designed to assist in academic writing and research, such as ChatGPT, AntConc, Gamma, Claude AI, KibbleAI, Orangemini, aiXcoder, SlidesAI, and GitHub Copilot. Participants were guided through hands-on activities related to writing research abstracts, outlining methodologies, identifying limitations, and structuring academic papers.
Looking Ahead
The workshop provided practical exposure to integrating AI tools in research, reinforcing the idea that digital aids can complement, not replace, critical inquiry in the humanities. The experience marked an important step for the participating faculty in exploring the potential of AI to support and streamline academic research in English Literature.
