Academic Writing and Integrity in the Age of Diversity

This edited volume explores the intersections of academic writing and academic integrity practices, policies and theory in increasingly pluralistic and heterogeneous higher education contexts. Responding to developments such as internationalisation, massification, equity, diversity and inclusion and decolonisation, the book asks important questions about social justice, access to education and hierarchies of knowledge which challenge established practices in European and North American academia. The contributors interrogate discourses on writing and integrity in higher education, reinterpreting them through the lens of cultural difference. The book will be of interest to university educators who wish to develop their understanding of pedagogy and improve their teaching and research practice.

Offers an original and productive intersection of debates on academic integrity, writing and demographic diversification Advocates for moving beyond punitive, one-size-fits-all academic practice and pedagogy Provides a comprehensive view of research and assessment as social practice

Dimitar Angelov is Assistant Professor in the Research Centre for Global Learning at Coventry University, UK. His scholarship engages with academic writing pedagogies, especially in the context of generative AI, as well as with practices, policy frameworks and ethics regulating transnational higher education partnerships. Before taking up his current role, Dr Angelov was a lecturer and manager at Coventry University's Centre for Academic Writing, where he oversaw the growth and diversification of the institution's student and staff support provisions, and served as Course Director for Europe's first master's degree in academic writing.

Catherine E. Déri is Associate Professor at Université du Québec en Outaouais, and Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Education at University of Ottawa, Canada. Her doctoral dissertation examined the socialisation of PhD students to the scholarly profession through academic writing cafes. Her current research on academic integrity aims to prevent plagiarism by helping undergraduate and graduate students to develop writing competencies, in part, through the responsible usage of generative AI. She conducts research with the international Partnership on University Plagiarism Prevention, which involves over 60 scholars from 32 universities and associations in Canada, the United States and several European countries.
