Ursula McGowan
I am an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in Education at the University of Adelaide, following a career of 23 years as Academic Language and Learning Adviser and Academic Staff Developer. http://www.adelaide.edu.au/directory/ursula.mcgowan
My major research interest is the relationship between academic integrity, academic writing and inadvertent plagiarism; in particular:
o how students gain an understanding of evidence-based writing the University's research culture:
o how they can learn ways of accelerating their own academic language development. See urls:

I am currently undertaking a study towards a PhD, to research conditions under which a process of accelerating academic language development may be integrated into higher education curricula.
