Dr. Wusk pioneers human-centered research at the AI-education intersection, examining writing pedagogy through mixed-methods approaches while innovating pre-service teacher training via comedy and improv techniques. Her work champions ethical, creative, and practical frameworks for educators navigating technological disruption, emphasizing Paulo Freire's philosophy that teachers enable students to become themselves rather than shaping them.
Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals three dominant trends: (1) critical interrogation of AI's classroom impact beyond efficiency gains, (2) strategies for sustaining teacher joy amid technological change, and (3) development of respectful discourse models for polarized educational environments. These works span scholarly articles, multimedia resources, and podcast features reaching diverse educator audiences.
She actively mentors emerging teacher-writers in scholarly and creative practice while facilitating dialogues about humanity in AI-driven education. Professional service includes Nebraska Educational Technology Association Board membership (2024-2027) and prior Nebraska Writing Project Board service (2012-2013), reflecting sustained commitment to educational innovation.
