About Me
- Shawn Maureen Powers
- I work in higher education overseeing AI policy. I came to this position in the after a long tenure as an associate dean which included the guidance as well as development of academic polidies. My current position oversees the development and support of guidelines on AI policy use and adoption, as well as curriculum initiatives. I moonlight as an adjunct, teaching undergraduate courses first-year seminar and the humanities, and have taught graduate courses in philosophy and arts education. I came to higher ed by way of a career as a stage actor in NYC where I also helped manage several theatre companies and venues. My graduate work at Teachers College introduced me to Maxine Greene who influenced how I encounter art, the creative process, and education. Greene's focus on social justice has set me off on a successful career in education and was the subject of my dissertation, "The Lived Life in the Writings of Maxine Greene."
