Applying Intercultural Concepts to Academic Integrity

…is the title of a chapter written by my colleague Michael Smithee, President of Smithee Associates, for a new book entitled Pedagogy, not Policing: Positive Approaches to Academic Integrity at the University (2009) edited by Tyra Twomey, Holly White, and Ken Sagendorf. In his chapter, Smithee “explores some cultural and behavioral issues related to academic integrity” which are often times left out of the academic literature and discussion on this topic. Smithee’s chapter is a very good read and one I recommend for all faculty to read as well as for administrators who are tasked with the responsibility of working with students on matters related to academic integrity.

You can access Smithee’s chapter here. You can also order entitled Pedagogy, not Policing: Positive Approaches to Academic Integrity at the University from Syracuse University Press here.
