Faculty Focus | GenAI in Historical Studies at UCT: Integrity, Assessment & the Future of Humanities

In this Faculty Focus episode of The Learning Exchange, Learning Technologies Consultant Alicia Ernstzen-Moolow sits down with Dr Anandaroop Sen (Senior Lecturer, Department of Historical Studies, UCT) to unpack how generative AI is reshaping assessment, writing, and academic integrity—especially in large first-year cohorts. They explore why staggered assignments help but aren’t fool-proof, the trade-offs between exams and coursework, what the turning off of AI detection in Turnitin means for educators, and why cultivating a culture of integrity may matter more than any tool. They also reflect on inequality, access, and what “the university” could look like ten years from now.
