In my role as Interim Associate Dean, Teaching and Learning for the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, I am pleased announce we will welcome Dr. Julia Christensen Hughes to our campus for a special visit on November 24, 2017.
We have two events that are open to the public that I wanted to share with all of you:
Lunchtime Keynote: Understanding academic misconduct: Creating robust cultures of integrity
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Location: University of Calgary, Taylor Institute Forum
This keynote will draw from Christensen Hughes’s research with the late Don McCabe, founder of the International Center for Academic Integrity. Their work was published in 2006 the Canadian Journal of Higher Education (see http://journals.sfu.ca/cjhe/index.php/cjhe/article/view/183537 and http://journals.sfu.ca/cjhe/index.php/cjhe/article/view/183525), and they were awarded with the Sheffield Award from the Canadian Society for Studies in Higher Education (CSSHE) for their contribution.
Afternoon workshop: Strengthening a culture of integrity at the University of Calgary
Time: 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Location: University of Calgary, Taylor Institute Forum
This workshop will provide a deeper analysis of why academic misconduct is happening on Canadian university campuses, including from the perspectives of faculty and TAs. Working in groups, participants will discuss their experience at the University of Calgary and generate specific suggestions for what the University might do to strengthen its culture of integrity.
