Research Focus

The Age of AI

Faculty Impact

"AI is the latest disruptor. And I think it’s important to explain it well to students. There’s an expression in Silicon Valley – ‘move fast and break things.’ This refers to disruptive technologies finding success by being disruptive."

Research Focus

Fighting Oppression with Art

Student Impact

“I got engaged last year. Through the process of learning about common wedding traditions, I started recognizing how the many traditions society celebrates are rooted in oppression. They are designed to control women.”

Leveling the Playing Field for Disabled Athletes

Our Impact

"The root of my research is anyone can be an athlete. At age 22 and in college, you might be able. But when you're age 72 and you've lived a full life, your ability won't look the same. Improved accessibility could make the lives of everyone in our society better, not just people with disabilities.”

Investigating Burnout

Our Impact

"As a caregiver, you end up taking it on. And so I value the importance of teachers taking care of themselves and feeling like the care is vital versus something they should do on their own," said Leslie Hillen, a veteran K-12 teacher and administrator whose research focuses on using yoga to promote wellness in educators.

UNC Value
