Abstract

Plagiarism accusations have become increasingly politicized over the last few years. In this article, we raise some of our concerns with how vacuous plagiarism accusations are now part of the arsenal of anti-woke politics. Revisiting the recent case of Claudine Gay, the former president of Harvard University, we identify the implications such accusations pose to our profession, including the undermining of academic freedom and the concomitant silencing of scholarly voices.
