Dr. Lorna Waddington is an Associate Professor of International History at the University of Leeds, UK. She serves as the University of Leeds Academic Lead for Academic Integrity, placing her at the forefront of scholarly inquiry into the ethical implications of generative AI (GenAI) across research and teaching. Her co-authored article on the limitations of chat detection tools has already garnered substantial recognition. More recently, she co-authored a study on the ethical use of GenAI that draws on traditional frameworks associated with the Global North. Her current investigations, however, expand this perspective by incorporating diverse ethical traditions to promote more inclusive and pluralistic models of digital responsibility.

Abstract

Amid the rapid adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in higher education, this presentation explores the intricate intersection of academic integrity and knowledge production within sensitive historical disciplines. Drawing on my dual role as an academic integrity specialist and genocide historian at the University of Leeds, I examine the widely used RAG (Red, Amber, Green) framework for GenAI integration in assessments, highlighting tensions between technological innovation and ethical scholarship. The presentation concludes by advocating a shift from simplistic binary views of academic misconduct to a more comprehensive understanding of GenAI's broader impact on academic integrity.

Humber Music Presents Vocal Night for a stirring evening of song that will treat the listener to heartfelt folk favourites of the 1970s, contemporary pop songs of the 2000s, and original songs composed by Humber’s own talented music students. This evening will be full of sweet melodies, lush harmonies, and plenty of heart. 

The first half will feature the Songwriter Circle, a group of versatile vocalists and instrumentalists dedicated to the craft of songwriting. Members collaborate closely, refining each other's new creations and helping shape each song into its best form. This concert showcases a collection of the exquisite works our songwriters have crafted over recent months with guidance from ensemble instructor Tara Kannangara.

The second half of the concert will showcase the Pop/Folk Vocal Ensemble, directed by Yvette Tollar. Featuring lush vocals, both acoustic and electric guitars and keys, cello, bass and drums, this eclectic ensemble draws from a wide variety of contemporary genres. Classic material from hit makers like Billy Joel and Laura Nyro hold space alongside contemporary luminaries like Coldplay, Labrinth, Paramore and Kwabs. Fueled by sensitive lyrical deliveries, the group’s collectively dynamic playing will engage and inspire audiences of any age.
