Leon Furze is a consultant, best-selling author, and PhD candidate with more than fifteen years in secondary and tertiary education. Based on a working farm in southwest Victoria, Australia, Leon brings both global perspective and grounded experience to his research on the impact of generative AI on how—and why—we write.
Show Overview:
On August 6, Leon will join Anne Murphy and Kyle Shannon live to explore what happens when writing, thinking, and AI meet in the classroom. With wit and clarity, he’ll share why teaching writing isn’t just about grammar or essays—but about shaping how we engage with ideas in a tech-saturated world.
