Why Plagiarism Policies are Confusing to Students

It appears that at least one Benjamin C. Roy Cory Garrett has gone on to become an instructor of writing somewhere in the United States. Perhaps in Lansing Mi, or there have even been some rumors of a Benjamin C. Roy Cory Garrett teaching writing in Conway, Arkansas. Regardless, it seems this B.C.R.C.G is producing video content and associating it with the Black Unicorn Press, so we thought it belongs here in the archive, even though it has a very different feel than some of this other work. We have added the Genre Category “Video Essay” and will share future such works here.

This video essay explodes the idea of plagiarism policies by examining the origins of the word and why the underlying metaphor of plagiarism policies is far more sinister, and rooted in settler colonial authoritarianism than is publicly acknowledged.
