The English Language Studies Graduate Program successfully held another event. On Monday, May 13th, 2024, the 13th annual Graduate Student Conference (GSC) took place. The theme for this year's GSC was "Children's Literature in The Age of AI: Perspectives from Linguistics, Literature, and Education." Two distinguished speakers were invited to discuss this topic: Chrysogonus Siddha Malilang from Malmö University, Sweden, and Dr. Nandy Intan Kurnia, S.S., M.Hum. from Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta.

The first plenary speaker, Chrysogonus Siddha Malilang, discussed the depth of our understanding of children's literature. He explored how children's literature has evolved and the importance of comprehensively knowing its various dimensions. Dr. Nandy Intan Kurnia, the second plenary speaker, focused on how AI can be used to enhance our knowledge and creativity in approaching children's literature. She emphasized that AI should be a tool to aid in the exploration and understanding of children's literature, not a replacement for human creativity and insight.

During the parallel session, 12 papers on ten sub-themes were presented to 16 participants from Universitas Sanata Dharma and other universities.
