In this eye-opening episode, Sara Connell sits down with Elizabeth Wardle—Distinguished Professor, Writing Expert, and Director of the Howe Center for Writing Excellence—to talk about the future of writing, AI, and why the way we teach and create needs to evolve fast.

    • What students and writers actually need to learn
    • How to stop policing and start teaching better writing
