Please come ready to discuss where the pain points are in your research and teaching praxis and to share how you have addressed and overcome them. As an interactive workshop, you will have the opportunity to share the challenges that you have faced in your research and teaching and how you have overcome them. An incomplete list of possible topics for discussion may include managing grades and grading, communicating evaluations to students, managing journal article PDFs, finding relevant, up-to-date literature, synchronous and asynchronous online collaborations with colleagues on writing and presenting, and whether and how generative AI tools may help to streamline some of your processes. As someone who has been researching and teaching for more than 20 years, I will facilitate the discussion and share some of the strategies that I have developed and implemented that I feel have helped to streamline my processes. However, I\u2019m looking forward to learning as much as I share through hearing your stories of the challenges that you\u2019ve faced and overcome in your research and teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Theron Muller is an associate professor at Waseda University\u2019s Faculty of Human Sciences.
