Summary

Pedagogy, not Policing is born out of a shared belief in the twin values of quality teaching and community effort. Bringing together the voices of graduate and undergraduate students, TAs, faculty, and other members of university communities, it asks and addresses such questions as what Academic Integrity (AI) is, what roles it plays in our colleges and universities, whom it serves, and what practices nourish and/or jeopardize it. The contributors will both challenge what you think you know about AI and offer pragmatic, concrete tools for how to promote it in classrooms.
