This chapter argues that higher education research can benefit from fusing existing methodological and theoretical paradigms with more creative, playful and artistic approaches.

The paper discusses practical, ethical, and methodological pitfalls and concerns when using Skype as a tool for interviewing.

In this post I describe what identity boxes are, how I developed the idea and why identity boxes can be used in research.

Plagiarism is a socio-cultural issue. This is about academic integrity and the reputation of an institution and the degree that is awarded. I would not want to hold an academic degree that is devalued in such way that many people were able to cheat their way through it. This is a reflective piece of writing on plagiarism and what it feels like for an academic.

Irrespective of the types of plagiarism, ultimately plagiarism is a punishable offence. Therefore, it is a good idea to get fully acquainted with the different types of plagiarism in order to be able to effectively avoid difficult situations. You are best advised to err on the side of caution and therefore credit too many authors and originators rather than not crediting others enough. Plagiarism is not a trivial offence, but theft and will be treated as such, irrespective of whether or not you plagiarise intentionally or unintentionally.
