A timely, evidence-based guide to reclaiming academic integrity and the mission of higher education.
Today's academic integrity policies are punitive, ineffective, and entirely focused on student misconduct. Crafting Ethical Scholarship shifts the paradigm away from compliance by exploring how scholars develop authentic academic integrity through relationships within disciplinary communities. Doubling down on student misconduct won't solve today's AI-powered crisis of academic cheating. What college faculty and administrators need is an alternative to the current lose-lose strategy, one in which academic integrity is recognized as a road map to achieving higher education's highest goals.
Crafting Ethical Scholarship recenters higher education as an inspiring place where expert thinkers create, explain, and build new knowledge. Coauthors Karyn E. Kessler, Paul J. Michiels, and Paul M. Rogers take readers inside the writing processes and life journeys of award-winning scholars across disciplines, showing how real academic integrity functions and contributes to the production of knowledge. The book offers a radical new model of academic integrity that relies on community and relationships to build diverse, equitable, and inclusive institutions.
