Dr. Gilbert McInnis

Biography:
Gilbert McInnis earned his Ph.D in English Literature at Université Laval. He contributed to Bloom’s Modern Critical Views: Kurt Vonnegut—New Edition (2008), contributed to Kurt Vonnegut: Critical Insights. Ed. Robert T. Tally Jr., 2013, Re-Imagining the Limits of the Human (Peter Lang, 2019), and published a monograph, Kurt Vonnegut: Myth and Science in a PostModern World (Peter Lang ) in 2020. Dr. McInnis has been invited to speak at a number of international venues including the International Conference Post-Colonial Theory and Practice in the Twenty-First Century: Re-Imaging the Limits of the Human, in Rzeszów, Poland and the International Conference for Academic Disciplines in Prague, Czech Republic.

Dr. McInnis has participated in numerous conferences and symposiums on the topic of Artificial Intelligence organized by the International Observatory of the Social Impacts of AI and Digital Technology (OBVIA), Université Laval, Quebec. Topics of interest for Dr. McInnis include: "Ethical and critical issues of AI systems in education: between tensions and risks," "Artificial Intelligence in Health: From Definition to Ethical and Legal Issues," "Decolonising AI: Ethics and the Rule of Law," and "AI & Responsibilities: Smart Cities." In 2021, Dr. McInnis participated in the 7th Annual Digital Pedagogy Institute Conference- 2021 which included the workshops: “Living in a Digital World: Exploring a Post-Truth Society with Undergraduates,” “Teaching to the Intersection of Identity and the Digital”, and “Opportunities and Challenges in Transitioning Online: A Case Study in Digital Pedagogy.”

Gilbert McInnis had invested countless hours in his professional writing outside the classroom as a journalist. For instance, while working for two English newspapers in Quebec, he wrote successful stories (digital and print) about issues in politics, economics, and culture. Likewise, he was successful as a writer in Quebec because of his ability to translate from French to English. He learned to be a good translator because the majority of the newsmakers he published stories about were primarily French speaking.
