As part of her Master's in Educational Leadership program, Erin compiled a resource asking instructors, administrators, and institutional leadership to consider how we perceive, discuss, and practice academic integrity in institutions, and what steps we can take to actively decolonize our methods. This presentation will encourage participants to reflect on their current practices and what steps our communities can take to ensure we are upholding equitable communities when fostering and responding to academic integrity. We’ll also review and discuss the limitations and roadblocks that show up in our communities and how we may still walk this path in the face of these challenges.

Learning outcomes for this session:

1. Critically examine how traditional approaches to academic integrity may reflect colonial values and assumptions.
2. Identify and articulate the ways in which academic integrity policies and practices can unintentionally marginalize certain student populations.
3. Reflect on personal and institutional practices related to academic integrity through an equity and decolonization lens.
4. Explore strategies for fostering inclusive and culturally responsive approaches to academic integrity in their own teaching or leadership contexts.
5. Recognize systemic barriers and institutional limitations that hinder the decolonization of academic integrity practices.
6. Commit to actionable steps toward creating more equitable and supportive academic environments that honour diverse ways of knowing and learning.
