Plagiarism as Literacy Practice: Recognizing and Rethinking Ethical Binaries

Kathryn Valentine

Abstract

In this article, I assert that plagiarism is a literacy practice that involves social relationships, attitudes, and values as much as it involves rules of citation and students’ texts. In addition, I show how plagiarism is complicated by a discourse about academic dishonesty, and I consider the implications that recognizing such complexity has for teaching.
