• Jude Carroll , Oxford Brookes University
  Jude Carroll is an Educational Development consultant at Oxford Brookes University and author of A Handbook for Deterring Plagiarism in Higher Education. Jude’s interest in plagiarism dates from a request six years ago to run a lunchtime session for lecturers just like this one. To her surprise, this one-off request spiralled into a world-wide exploration of plagiarism as a way into exploring concerns and issues central to teaching in universities. Her current research considers institutional approaches to setting fair punishments.
