Now in its 22nd year, the Day of Common Learning at Seattle Pacific University is a campuswide event in which students, faculty, and staff have the opportunity to engage in deep thought and conversation around a topic of interest and concern.
This year's theme is "Digital Discernment: Navigating Life, Faith, and Technology." The keynote speaker is Dr. Kate Ott, a highly respected scholar and nationally recognized expert in a number of ethical discourses. As a feminist and Christian ethicist, Dr. Ott specializes in technology, children and youth, sexuality, pedagogy, and professional ethics. She has authored several books, including Christian Ethics for a Digital Society and, most recently, Sex, Tech & Faith: Ethics for a Digital Age.
Several afternoon sessions will be held related to day's theme led by faculty from various disciplines, including "AI Tools in the Classroom – a Live Experiment," "Digital and Information Equity in Seattle," "Discerning Climate Change Information," and :AI, Faith, and the Future."
