As AI reshapes how students encounter the past, the central challenge is not whether tools can generate historical narratives, but whether learners can practice historical thinking with intention, creativity, and ethical responsibility. This interactive workshop uses Mercy Otis Warren, an influential Revolutionary-era writer with contested interpretations, as a case study for teaching women’s history through primary sources and historiography while responsibly integrating AI tools. Participants will work with a short primary-source excerpt set and a mini-historiography snapshot that frames competing interpretations of Warren: revolutionary feminist voice versus elite author reflecting privilege and prevailing gender norms. Using a structured, classroom-ready protocol, attendees will test how AI can support inquiry (question generation, rhetorical analysis prompts, counterargument building) while also identifying risks (bias amplification, invented citations, flattening of historical debate). Participants will leave with a reusable activity sequence, sample prompts, and a reflection framework that keeps human interpretation, and ethical teaching, at the center.
