Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

poet, and teacher, articulated the Filipino spirit in
rural, urban landscapes. Among the many
recognitions, he won the First Commonwealth
Literary Contest in 1940, received the Republic
Cultural Heritage Award in 1960 and the Gawad
CCP Para sa Sining in 1990. The awards attest to his
triumph in appropriating the English language to
express, reflect and shape Philippine culture and
Philippine sensibility. He became U.P.’s
International-Writer-In-Residence and a member of
the Board of Advisers of the U.P. Creative Writing
Center. In 1987, U.P. conferred on him the Doctor

11.
12. Virgilio S. Almario, also known as Rio Alma,
is a poet, literary historian and critic, who has
revived and reinvented traditional Filipino poetic
forms, even as he championed modernist poetics.
In 34 years, he has published 12 books of poetry,
which include the seminal Makinasyon and
Peregrinasyon, and the landmark trilogy
Doktrinang Anakpawis, Mga Retrato at
Rekwerdo and Muli, Sa Kandungan ng Lupa. In
these works, his poetic voice soared from the
lyrical to the satirical to the epic, from the
dramatic to the incantatory, in his often severe
examination of the self, and the society.
He has also redefined how the Filipino
poetry is viewed and paved the way for the
discussion of the same in his 10 books of
criticisms and anthologies, among which are
Ang Makata sa Panahon ng Makina,
Balagtasismo versus Modernismo,Walong
Dekada ng Makabagong Tula Pilipino, Mutyang
Dilim and Barlaan at Josaphat.
13. Many Filipino writers have come under his wing
in the literary workshops he founded –the Galian sa
Arte at Tula (GAT) and the Linangan sa Imahen,
Retorika at Anyo (LIRA).
He has also long been involved with children’s
literature through the Aklat Adarna series, published
by his Children’s Communication Center. He has been
a constant presence as well in national writing
workshops and galvanizes member writers as
chairman emeritus of the Unyon ng mga Manunulat
sa Pilipinas (UMPIL).
He headed the National Commission for
Culture and the Arts as Executive Director, (from
1998 to 2001) ably steering the Commission
towards its goals.
But more than anything else, what Almario
accomplished was that he put a face to the Filipino
writer in the country, one strong face determinedly
wielding a pen into untruths, hypocrisy, injustice,
among others.
14.
15. Cirilo F. Bautista is a poet, fictionist and
essayist with exceptional achievements and
significant contributions to the development of
the country’s literary arts. He is acknowledged
by peers and critics, and the nation at large as
the foremost writer of his generation.
Throughout his career that spans more
than four decades, he has established a
reputation for fine and profound artistry; his
books, lectures, poetry readings and creative
writing workshops continue to influence his
peers and generations of young writers.
16. As a way of bringing poetry and fiction closer
to the people who otherwise would not have the
opportunity to develop their creative talent,
Bautista has been holding regular funded and
unfunded workshops throughout the country. In
his campus lecture circuits, Bautista has updated
students and student-writers on literary
developments and techniques.
As a teacher of literature, Bautista has
realized that the classroom is an important
training ground for Filipino writers. In De La Salle
University, he was instrumental in the formation
of the Bienvenido Santos Creative Writing Center.
He was also the moving spirit behind the founding
of the Philippine Literary Arts Council in 1981, the
Iligan National Writers Workshop in 1993, and the
Baguio Writers Group.
17. Thus, Bautista continues to contribute to the
development of Philippine literature: as a writer,
through his significant body of works; as a
teacher, through his discovery and encouragement
of young writers in workshops and lectures; and as
a critic, through his essays that provide insights
into the craft of writing and correctives to
misconceptions about art.
Major works: Summer Suns (1963), Words
and Battlefields (1998), The Trilogy of Saint
Lazarus (2001), Galaw ng Asoge (2003).
18.
19. Nick Joaquin, is regarded by many as the most
distinguished Filipino writer in English writing so variedly and
so well about so many aspects of the Filipino. Nick Joaquin
has also enriched the English language with critics coining
“Joaquinesque” to describe his baroque Spanish-flavored
English or his reinventions of English based on Filipinisms.
Aside from his handling of language, Bienvenido
Lumbera writes that Nick Joaquin’s significance in Philippine
literature involves his exploration of the Philippine colonial
past under Spain and his probing into the psychology of
social changes as seen by the young, as exemplified in
stories such as Doña Jeronima, Candido’s Apocalypse and
The Order of Melchizedek. Nick Joaquin has written plays,
novels, poems, short stories and essays including reportage
and journalism.
As a journalist, Nick Joaquin uses the nome de
guerre Quijano de Manila but whether he is writing
literature or journalism, fellow National Artist Francisco
Arcellana opines that “it is always of the highest skill and
quality”.
20. Among his voluminous works are
The Woman Who Had Two Navels, A
Portrait of the Artist as Filipino,
Manila, My Manila: A History for the
Young, The Ballad of the Five Battles,
Rizal in Saga, Almanac for Manileños,
Cave and Shadows.
Nick Joaquin died April 29, 2004.

22. F. Sionil Jose’s writings since the late 60s,
when taken collectively can best be described as
epic. Its sheer volume puts him on the forefront of
Philippine writing in English. But ultimately, it is
the consistent espousal of the aspirations of the
Filipino–for national sovereignty and social justice–
that guarantees the value of his oeuvre.
In the five-novel masterpiece, the Rosales
saga, consisting of The Pretenders, Tree, My
Brother, My Executioner, Mass, and Po-on, he
captures the sweep of Philippine history while
simultaneously narrating the lives of generations of
the Samsons whose personal lives intertwine with
the social struggles of the nation.
Because of their international appeal, his
works, including his many short stories, have
been published and translated into various
languages.
23. F. Sionil Jose is also a publisher, lecturer on
cultural issues, and the founder of the Philippine
chapter of the international organization PEN.
He was bestowed the CCP Centennial Honors for
the Arts in 1999; the Outstanding Fulbrighters
Award for Literature in 1988; and the Ramon
Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature, and
Creative Communication Arts in 1980.
24.
25. Amado V. Hernandez, poet, playwright,
and novelist, is among the Filipino writers who
practiced “committed art”. In his view, the
function of the writer is to act as the conscience
of society and to affirm the greatness of the
human spirit in the face of inequity and
oppression. Hernandez’s contribution to the
development of Tagalog prose is considerable —
he stripped Tagalog of its ornate character and
wrote in prose closer to the colloquial than the
“official” style permitted. His novel Mga Ibong
Mandaragit, first written by Hernandez while in
prison, is the first Filipino socio-political novel
that exposes the ills of the society as evident in
the agrarian problems of the 50s.
26. Hernandez’s other works include
Bayang Malaya, Isang Dipang Langit,
Luha ng Buwaya, Amado V. Hernandez:
Tudla at Tudling: Katipunan ng mga
Nalathalang Tula 1921-1970, Langaw sa
Isang Basong Gatas at Iba Pang
Kuwento ni Amado V. Hernandez,
Magkabilang Mukha ng Isang Bagol at Iba
Pang Akda ni Amado V. Hernandez.
27.
28. Prize-winning writer Lazaro A. Francisco
developed the social realist tradition in Philippine
fiction. His eleven novels, now acknowledged classics of
Philippine literature, embodies the author’s commitment
to nationalism. Amadis Ma. Guerrero wrote, “Francisco
championed the cause of the common man, specifically
the oppressed peasants. His novels exposed the evils of
the tenancy system, the exploitation of farmers by
unscrupulous landlords, and foreign domination.”
Teodoro Valencia also observed, “His pen dignifies the
Filipino and accents all the positives about the Filipino
way of life. His writings have contributed much to the
formation of a Filipino nationalism.” Literary historian
and critic Bienvenido Lumbera also wrote, “When the
history of the Filipino novel is written, Francisco is likely
to occupy an eminent place in it. Already in Tagalog
literature, he ranks among the finest novelists since the
beginning of the 20th century. In addition to a deft hand
at characterization, Francisco has a supple prose style
responsive to the subtlest nuances of ideas and the
sternest stuff of passions.”
29. Francisco gained prominence as a writer
not only for his social conscience but also for
his “masterful handling of the Tagalog
language” and “supple prose style”. With his
literary output in Tagalog, he contributed to
the enrichment of the Filipino language and
literature for which he is a staunch advocate.
He put up an arm to his advocacy of Tagalog as
a national language by establishing the
Kapatiran ng mga Alagad ng Wikang Pilipino
(KAWIKA) in 1958.
30. His reputation as the “Master of the
Tagalog Novel” is backed up by numerous
awards he received for his meritorious novels in
particular, and for his contribution to Philippine
literature and culture in general. His
masterpiece novels—Ama, Bayang
Nagpatiwakal, Maganda Pa Ang Daigdig and
Daluyong—affirm his eminent place in
Philippine literature. In 1997, he was honored
by the University of the Philippines with a
special convocation, where he was cited as the
“foremost Filipino novelist of his generation”
and “champion of the Filipino writer’s struggle
for national identity.”

32. “You cannot be a great writer; first, you
have to be a good person”
Alejandro Roces, is a short story writer
and essayist, and considered as the country’s
best writer of comic short stories. He is known
for his widely anthologized “My Brother’s
Peculiar Chicken”. In his innumerable
newspaper columns, he has always focused on
the neglected aspects of the Filipino cultural
heritage. His works have been published in
various international magazines and has
received national and international awards.
33. Ever the champion of Filipino
culture, Roces brought to public
attention the aesthetics of the
country’s fiestas. He was instrumental
in popularizing several local fiestas,
notably, Moriones and Ati-atihan. He
personally led the campaign to change
the country’s Independence Day from
July 4 to June 12, and caused the
change of language from English to
Filipino in the country’s stamps,
currency and passports, and recovered
Jose Rizal’s manuscripts when they
were stolen from the National
Archives.
34. His unflinching love of country led
him to become a guerilla during the
Second World War, to defy martial law
and to found the major opposition party
under the dictatorship. His works have
been published in various international
magazines and received numerous
national and international awards,
including several decorations from
various governments.
35.
36. Carlos P. Romulo‘s multifaceted career
spanned 50 years of public service as educator,
soldier, university president, journalist and
diplomat. It is common knowledge that he was the
first Asian president of the United Nations General
Assembly, then Philippine Ambassador to
Washington, D.C., and later minister of foreign
affairs. Essentially though, Romulo was very much
into writing: he was a reporter at 16, a newspaper
editor by the age of 20, and a publisher at
32. He was the only Asian to win America’s coveted
Pulitzer Prize in Journalism for a series of articles
predicting the outbreak of World War II. Romulo, in
all, wrote and published 18 books, a range of
literary works which included The United (novel), I
Walked with Heroes (autobiography), I Saw the
Fall of the Philippines, Mother America, I See the
Philippines Rise (war-time memoirs).
37. His other books include his memoirs
of his many years’ affiliations with
United Nations (UN), Forty Years: A
Third World Soldier at the UN, and The
Philippine Presidents, his oral history of
his experiences serving all the Philippine
presidents.
38.
39. Jose Garcia Villa is considered as one of the
finest contemporary poets regardless of race or
language. Villa, who lived in Singalong, Manila,
introduced the reversed consonance rime scheme,
including the comma poems that made full use of
the punctuation mark in an innovative, poetic way.
The first of his poems “Have Come, Am Here”
received critical recognition when it appeared in
New York in 1942 that, soon enough, honors and
fellowships were heaped on him: Guggenheim,
Bollingen, the American Academy of Arts and
Letters Awards. He used Doveglion (Dove, Eagle,
Lion) as penname, the very characters he
attributed to himself, and the same ones explored
by e.e. cummings in the poem he wrote for Villa
(Doveglion, Adventures in Value). Villa is also
known for the tartness of his tongue.
40. Villa’s works have been collected
into the following books: Footnote to
Youth,Many Voices, Poems by
Doveglion, Poems 55, Poems in Praise
of Love: The Best Love Poems of Jose
Garcia Villa as Chosen By Himself,
Selected Stories,The Portable Villa,
The Essential Villa, Mir-i-nisa,

Footnote to Youth, 55 Poems:
Selected and Translated into Tagalog
by Hilario S. Francia.

42. Rolando S. Tinio, playwright, thespian,
poet, teacher, critic and translator, marked his
career with prolific artistic productions. Tinio’s
chief distinction is as a stage director whose
original insights into the scripts he handled
brought forth productions notable for their visual
impact and intellectual cogency.
Subsequently, after staging productions for
the Ateneo Experimental Theater (its organizer and
administrator as well), he took on Teatro Pilipino.
It was to Teatro Pilipino which he left a
considerable amount of work reviving traditional
Filipino drama by re-staging old theater forms like
the sarswela and opening a treasure- house of
contemporary Western drama. It was the
excellence and beauty of his practice that claimed
for theater a place among the arts in the
Philippines in the 1960s.
43. Aside from his collections of poetry
(Sitsit sa Kuliglig, Dunung – Dunungan,
Kristal na Uniberso, A Trick of Mirrors)
among his works were the following:
film scripts for Now and Forever,
Gamitin Mo Ako, Bayad Puri and
Milagros; sarswelas Ang Mestisa, Ako,
Ang Kiri, Ana Maria; the komedya
Orosman at Zafira; and Larawan, the
musical.
44.
45. Francisco Arcellana, writer, poet, essayist,
critic, journalist and teacher, is one of the most
important progenitors of the modern Filipino short
story in English. He pioneered the development
of the short story as a lyrical prose-poetic form.
For Arcellana, the pride of fiction is “that it is
able to render truth, that is able to present
reality”. Arcellana kept alive the experimental
tradition in fiction, and had been most daring in
exploring new literary forms to express the
sensibility of the Filipino people. A brilliant
craftsman, his works are now an indispensable
part of a tertiary- level-syllabi all over the
country. Arcellana’s published books are Selected
Stories (1962), Poetry and Politics: The State of
Original Writing in English in the Philippines
Today (1977), The Francisco Arcellana
Sampler(1990).
46. Some of his short stories are
Frankie, The Man Who Would Be Poe,
Death in a Factory, Lina, A Clown
Remembers, Divided by Two, The
Mats, and his poems being The Other
Woman, This Being the Third Poem
This Poem is for Mathilda, To Touch You
and I Touched Her, among others.

48. Levi Celerio is a prolific lyricist and
composer for decades. He effortlessly
translated/wrote anew the lyrics to
traditional melodies: “O Maliwanag Na
Buwan” (Iloko), “Ako ay May Singsing”
(Pampango), “Alibangbang” (Visaya)
among others.
Born in Tondo, Celerio received his
scholarship at the Academy of Music in
Manila that made it possible for him to
join the Manila Symphony Orchestra,
becoming its youngest member. He made
it to the Guinness Book of World Records
as the only person able to make music
using just a leaf.
49. A great number of his songs have
been written for the local movies,
which earned for him the Lifetime
Achievement Award from the Film
Academy of the Philippines. Levi Celerio,
more importantly, has enriched the
Philippine music for no less than two
generations with a treasury of more
than 4,000 songs in an idiom that has
proven to appeal to all social classes.
