SUMMARY:Hope in Action Speaker Series: Being Human in the Age of Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:Rethinking creativity\, work\, and agency in the age of generative artificial intelligence \n\n\n\nWe are living through a moment where tools like ChatGPT\, Midjourney\, and GitHub Copilot are no longer futuristic curiosities\, they are genuine collaborators in our writing\, coding\, designing\, and decision-making. This talk steps back from the hype to ask a more human question: what happens to creativity\, work\, and personal agency when machines can generate ideas\, images\, and solutions at scale? \n\n\n\nTechnology and privacy lawyer Maleeha Akhtar will explore how these systems blur lines we once took for granted between author and tool\, employee and employer\, automation and autonomy. We’ll consider what it means to create in an age of algorithmic assistance\, how power shifts when data becomes raw material for intelligence\, and how law can protect not just innovation\, but dignity\, fairness\, and meaningful human choice. \n\n\n\nUltimately\, this session is about ensuring that as AI grows more capable\, we remain intentional about the kind of society\, and the kind of human role within it\, we want to build.

SUMMARY:The Metaphysical Roots of Media Studies: McLuhan\, Maritain\, and Gilson
DESCRIPTION:Marshall McLuhan\, Jacques Maritain\, and Étienne Gilson stand as the intellectual pillars of St. Michael’s College\, defining its global reputation in the 20th century. TV author\, playwright\, and theatre scholar Felice Cappa will be presenting his forthcoming book\, McLuhan in Dialogue with Maritain and Gilson: The Metaphysical Roots of Media Studies (Springer 2026)\, a unique monography of McLuhan’s relationship with Maritain and Gilson on philosophical and theological education. \n\n\n\nMcLuhan’s relationship with the Neo-Thomist philosophers Maritain and Gilson\, which lasted four decades\, from the time of his doctorate in Cambridge\, in the 1930s\, until the end of their lives\, in the 1970s\, is chosen as a field of investigation to explore the paths that allowed McLuhan to start from the classical culture of the Trivium and arrive at the discovery of new disciplinary territories\, from cultural studies to media studies\, of which he is considered the founder.
