Jeanne Beatrix Law

Professor of English, Kennesaw State University

Dr. Jeanne Beatrix Law serves as a Professor of English and Coordinator of the graduate certificate in AI & Writing technologies at Kennesaw State University, where her academic pursuits span teaching, research, and service with a focus on human-machine thought partnerships and digitizing historical civil rights rhetorics. Her research portfolio reflects a deep engagement with digital humanities and multiple applications of generative artificial intelligence in the field of writing studies, including creative and applied use cases. Her work continues to have a strand in general education and deploying custom agents in first-year writing courses. This work is informed by her eight years of service as WPA at KSU.

A significant aspect of her scholarly work involves the Atlanta Student Movement, of the 1960s. She has led the recovery and digital dissemination of more than 20 narratives central to the movement, blending technological tools with historical inquiry to illuminate this critical chapter of civil rights history and elicit critical thinking through custom agents built from the digital archive. Her studies on digital information fluency have been featured in Routledge, SIU, and Purdue University presses among others. Her trending work in generative AI includes articles with the The Conversation, University of Michigan Press, Computers & Composition Digital Press, as well as The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and numerous broadcast media. This cross-pollination exemplifies her research on the intersection of technology, education, and social justice. Her work has garnered funding support from the Rich Foundation and The Teagle Foundation among others. She has served in advisory roles for Macmillan Education, the Council of Writing Program Administrators, the CCCCs Research Network Forum, and the OpenAI Educator Community.
