In response to the significant disruption posed by emergent AI technology, we propose a four part framework for teaching and learning practice and development.

The disruption imposed a break from routine that may also offer opportunities to push back on habits that hinder the flourishing of our students and our host communities. This article critically analyzes the practice of these trips to…
