Thursday, May 5, 2011
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Kelley Presentation Room

The Faculty Development and Evaluation Committee is happy to invite you to what promises to be a provocative conversation about authorship, agency, and academic integrity. Dr. Rebecca Moore Howard, a leading scholar on plagiarism and authorship, will be presenting recent findings from the Citation Project, "a multi-institution research project responding to educators' concerns about plagiarism and the teaching of writing" (http://www.citationproject.net ). Dr. Howard's work has been featured in numerous journals and publications. Her groundbreaking book Standing in The Shadow of Giants: Plagiarists, Authors, Collaborators surveys theories of authorship from Classical studies to the present and considers the range of responses, productive and punitive, to perceived instances of plagiarism. This event is co-sponsored by the Faculty Development and Evaluation Committee, the Humanities Institute, the Office of Academic Engagement, the Core Writing Program, Center for Academic Excellence, The DiMenna-Nyselius Library, and the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs. All full-time and affiliate faculty and staff are welcome and encouraged to attend.
