Nancye Blair Black believes the future of education will be shaped less by the technologies we adopt than by the people we become. An award-winning educator, author, doctoral researcher, and international speaker, she explores what it means to prepare teachers, leaders, and learners for the deeply human work of education in the age of AI. As founder of The Block Uncarved, Nancye partners with schools, universities, and educational organizations worldwide to integrate emerging technologies in ways that strengthen human connection, creativity, dignity, and agency. Similarly, her research at Teachers College, Columbia University bridges scholarship, policy, and classroom practice.
