What can we learn from Claudine Gay?: The politics of citation, plagiarism, & the spread of ideas in the social sciences
MUB Theater II.
Join us for a roundtable discussion reflecting on the recent resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay, a political scientist, due to plagiarism allegations. Topics to be addressed include the politics of how we value and attribute ideas in academia and society, the role of technology in enabling and identifying plagiarism, and how academic citation serves as a tool to trace the spread of original ideas. Panelists include faculty from the political science and international affairs department, and Dimond Library. Refreshments will be served. Event is supported by the Responsible Governance & Sustainable Citizenship Project (RGSCP).
