OverviewAI-generated summary

Evan W. Faidley's research investigates the integration of artificial intelligence in higher education and the experiences of diverse student populations. His work examines faculty attitudes towards generative AI, exploring reasons for both adoption and reluctance. Faidley also focuses on understanding the professional development needs and help-seeking behaviors of graduate students, particularly those from first-generation backgrounds. Additional research areas include the challenges faced by student-parents in college settings and the identity negotiation processes of late-diagnosed neurodivergent doctoral students, including issues of masking, disclosure, and self-advocacy. His scholarship also delves into critical feminist theory analyses of popular media in relation to professional education, gender, and belonging.
