Why are we so comfortable denigrating the creative output of our grandmothers? It may seem insignificant within the context of much more urgent global issues, but in a new piece for Hyperallergic, I argue that it is symptomatic of the systematic devaluation of feminized labor.

Another exciting paper from our upcoming 'Challenging Cheating' special issue of Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education

A refreshing conceptual perspective by Jo-ann Larkins and Dr Katherine Seaton on the nuances of cheating in mathematics, drawing in concepts of signature pedagogies and therefore signature assessments.

Went to the funeral yesterday of a former colleague who had lived a full life, and retired more than a decade ago. As always, the sartorial choices of academics off-campus at an 'event' causes a smile. (Well, Australian mathematicians, all male apart from me.)

Back at you Jo-ann Larkins And don't think you have to work in maths to read it. What is your discipline's signature pedagogy/assessment/misconduct?

Exceptionally excited to see this out in open access today. So proud to have collaborated with Katherine Seaton Dr Katherine Seaton to add to the conversation about academic integrity through exploring signature misconduct in our discipline of mathematics.

With another semester ending, here's your annual reminder that teaching evaluations systemically disadvantage women. Even when controlling for grades and other factors, students (esp. males) consistently give female professors lower scores. This can have serious ramifications.🧵

Not just essays!

The latest Australian Mathematical Society Gazette has an excellent and important account of women's participation in and contributions to Australian mathematics. Includes lists of 'firsts', roles, awards and full profs.

🙏to Cheryl Praeger and Lesley Ward for compiling.

TEQSA has issued a sector alert on our website: teqsa.gov.au/about-us/news-…

Reports and observations suggest commercial academic cheating services are becoming more frequently targeting the students who use their services for blackmail and identity theft.

Looking forward to a school holiday day trip with Ms 16 tomorrow. I love going to Bendigo and I love her company one-on-one, so should be a great day.

Academic integrity investigators have their families threatened, one university receives a bomb threat. The horrific world of #contractcheating and dealing with academic misconduct, reported by@CCguerilla #academicintegrity guerillawarfare.net/post/the-nail-…

Australia's uni regulator told me it thinks organised crime is largely behind illegal contract cheating sites targeting students - and they are turning more and more to blackmail to make a buck, raising national security fears.
