More anti-Blackness and misogynoir for y'all to unpack:👴🏻Low blow! Bill is being attacked! I can't believe that "The left" (Business Insider) is attacking him by going after his wife Neri Oxman! (For taking dudes at their word, that rhetorical plagiarism is an important issue that must be stamped out at Harvard, UPenn, and MIT).👩🏿Umm... Claudine Gay is a wife too. Did you know that she was a wife?👴🏻Yes, but she's a Black wife! That's different!🤦🏿♂️

@mekkaokereke I don’t understand. How is voting a work plagiarism?

@Tonydunc Original Mark Twain:But old fools is the biggest fools there is. Can't learn an old dog new tricks, as the saying is.Cited, not quoted:In Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain uses ageist language.

@Tonydunc Yes, that's how silly this whole thing is. If you asked Mark Twain if he thought either of the above passages were stealing his work, or passing his work off as their own, of course he would say no.But, the correct action is still to put the quotation marks in place. When this usually happens, people add the quotation marks and move on. Many academics would fail this particular test.This is not about academic dishonesty. It's pedantry weaponized into anti-DEI (anti-Blackness).

In the words of the great street philosophers, "It don't work like that playboy!"Is Neri Oxman a stay at home housewife, far removed from academics? Or is she a professional woman in academia (MIT), just like Claudine Gay? Shouldn't they be evaluated by the same standards? What happened to meritocracy?🤡To the "But Neri is her own woman!" crowd, ask yourself this: Why didn't Neri say anything to defend the plagiarism attack on Claudine, either before or after the Business Insider article?

@Tonydunc I've attached one of the "smoking gun" examples of Claudine Gay plagiarizing. On the left is the original source from Bobo and Gilliam. On the right is the text from Claudine Gay. She begins the section citing Bobo and Gilliam! But then doesn't use quotation marks where she uses exact language.Yes, she 100% should use quotation marks here. Yes this fits the strict definition of plagiarism. But no, she is not trying to pass Bobo's and Gilliam's work off as her own.

Exactly. At BEST, this is essentially a style and editing mistake. Under standard academic style guides, you cite but don't use quotation marks if you're paraphrasing another author's research.https://blog.wordvice.com/how-to-paraphrase-in-research/If I were an outside observer reading her research, I would be very likely to assume that she was paraphrasing Bobo and Gilliam (1990). Which granted is still a style mistake, the phrasing and structure was similar enough it should have been direct quotations, but that's about it.But "She cited other peoples' research as a paraphrase instead of as a direct quote!" just doesn't have the same outrage generation as "She plagiarized their work!"@mekkaokereke @Tonydunc
