of this paper is based on what anthropologists would call a multi-site,multi-scale analysis.9 This approach is based on the idea that modern, complex institutionscannot be understood through a close study of any single site, or any particular scale of analysis.Thus, it was not the State Legislature or the University of California President‟s Office, norBoelter and his faculty at UCLA that determined the course of California‟s postsecondaryeducational institutions. Nor were these institutions built through the simple aggregation of theseefforts. Rather, it was the extensive interaction between these and other constitutiveorganizations that defined the field of opportunities for remaking the California system of highereducation. Through the

Therefore, wesee artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformative force in education which has a large potentialto offer solutions to challenges posed by traditional, standardized instructional methods.Specifically, modern AI models offer the ability to generate new content in real-time, makingtruly adaptive learning [2] a possibility.

instructors teaching in STEM whoperceive microaggressions shown to them as less negative and had higher rates of non-responseto the microaggressions than the faculty teaching diversity courses (Boyson, 2012). When a faculty member realizes that a microaggression has occurred, they are faced witha decision of choosing how to respond. The subtlety of microaggressions and lack of diversitytraining for most faculty, makes the decision difficult (Hernandez, Carranza, and Almeida 2010).There are few studies on the effectiveness of professional development with regard tomicroaggressions in higher education classrooms, but a study by Boyson (2012) suggests thatfaculty should respond to microaggressions and receive training on the topic.
