Genre-focused pedagogy is a teaching approach that encourages students to compare communication styles across different professional disciplines. Experimenting with a strategy to build critical consciousness and prepare doctoral students for interdisciplinary scholarship, faculty used ChatGPT to generate texts reflecting communication styles in nursing, medicine, policy, and social science journals. A student analyzed how the same content was approached differently. The exercise highlighted diversity in word choice, sentence structure, and strategies for signaling status, framing problems, and centering particular forms of disciplinary authority. AI tools can be used to build understanding of disciplinary epistemologies, language norms, and power in scholarly communication.
