Hi, I'm Josh Thorpe: Writer, learning developer, teacher, artist, speaker and radio host. I work at University of Stirling and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Invite me to speak about or teach AI literacy or academic literacies... or work with me on a teaching, publishing, or other creative project. Get in touch at jt at joshthorpe dot com.

My latest project is AI for Students, a comic-style book that shows how to use gen AI to think more, not less, in education. This approach says: AI isn't a 'tool'...it's an environment. Use it as a space for practice, learning, and creative thinking. And hang on to your humanity.
