Class: Citation as a Lens for Interdesciplinarity
By popular request from my twitterish friends, here is the basic gist of the class I taught today. Context: One of the amazing professors here (I have to say that, she’s reading this :P ) teaches a class which, being interdisciplinary and being a lower level course, often ends up introducing students to the world of interdisciplinarity. So this professor and I have decided to prime the students’ brains early in the term for two concepts: there are different disciplines out there and they each have their own conventions for good reason, and you’ll have to follow one of these conventions soon, so here are the basics. Class ( PPT ): Citation has many goals, and avoiding plagiarism is only one of these goals (and frankly, the least interesting of the bunch, in my opinion… see my opinion ). These goals have to do with the fact that writing is enherently communicative, and communication happens primarily within a community of inquiry.
