Abstract Details

2014, Master of Arts, Miami University, English.
This thesis argues for a new approach to developing theories and practices concerning plagiarism and student writing through research and scholarship. This approach, entitled the ethic of collaboration, aims to challenge romantic singular authorship and argues for research and scholarship that is transparent about its influences and engages multiple perspectives. As an example, this thesis also reports the results of a qualitative research study that employs this ethic and seeks to learn more about the actual lived practices of first-year writing instructors as they discuss plagiarism in their classroom. Observations of and interviews with instructors reveal that instructors employ very diverse approaches to teaching about plagiarism and source use, and their discourse deploys various different frames, a system of language that organizes and interprets the meaning, importance, and consequence of plagiarism. Implications for classroom instructors, writing program administrators, and particularly scholarship and research on plagiarism are discussed.
