My guests for this episode are Kane Murdoch and Shaun Lehmann. They work in the area of academic integrity at one of Australia's major universities and have been thinking seriously about the problems facing us in academia of ensuring that students behave with integrity in their assessments. The issue is typically referred to as "contract cheating" which includes students outsourcing completion of their work, or *contracts it out, to a third party. This practice risks devaluing university degrees and destroying trust in the quality of degrees.
Kane and Shaun argue that the way to combat this practice in the age of AI is to change the way that we assess students in higher education. Have a listen to their arguments and let us know what you think.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
