CLRP hosts AI & Marginalized Groups Writing Workshop and Retreat
On May 22–24, 2025, the Duke Law Center on Law, Race & Policy hosted an AI & Marginalized Groups Writing Workshop and Retreat. Continuing on its work with the AI & Marginalized Groups Panel and the AI & Marginalized Groups Symposium, the workshop and retreat featured notable scholars from throughout the country to focus on writing on matters related to the topic. The AI & Marginalized Groups series has featured a diverse and interdisciplinary panel of scholars and in-field experts, touching on the intersection between AI and journalism, criminal justice, criminal sentencing, employment, entertainment, immigration, media, privacy, and policing, among other areas.
During the workshop and retreat, each scholar presented and discussed a current project, secured critical feedback on their work, and was able to have dedicated time to further work on their respective project. The workshop and retreat further provided an opportunity for CLRP and the attending scholars to meet for a brainstorming session with Yakut Gazi, Ph.D., Duke University Vice Provost for Learning Innovation and Digital Education, a leading voice with the AI at Duke Initiative. Through the workshop and retreat, CLRP obtained additional insights on future programming on Generative AI & Marginalized Groups. Attending scholars also were able to focus on wellness as a means of advancing our scholarly work.
