Key Findings
Qualitative study of 10 mathematics academics at a Swedish university, using Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). Identifies 5 themes of GenAI-driven change: boundary fluidity, shifting objects, epistemic concerns, distributed innovation, and reconfigured roles. Adoption unfolds informally through student use and peer networks rather than institutional policy. GenAI is conceptualized as a 'runaway object' that evolves unpredictably and disrupts established boundaries.
