Voice, Privilege, and Integrity: Navigating Generative AI and Linguistic Imperialism in Academic Assessment

In the second session of the Academic Integrity Week discussion series, Dr. Brenda McDermott will explore how increasing academic integrity concerns around written assignments are increasingly discussed as unauthorized collaboration with Generative AI. These concerns are often associated with comments such as it doesn’t sound like the student or it is the student’s voice. This presentation highlights how some voices are privileged in academic discourse and that Generative AI can be a tool for others to access that privilege. Using the framework of linguistic imperialism, this presentation reflects on how assessment alignment and critical reflection can increase assessment integrity and promote ethical generative AI use.
