News summary

Robin DiAngelo, author of the bestselling book 'White Fragility,' faces serious allegations of plagiarism in her 2004 doctoral thesis, 'Whiteness in Racial Dialogue: A Discourse Analysis.' A complaint filed with the University of Washington cites 20 instances where DiAngelo allegedly lifted material from Asian-American scholars Thomas Nakayama and Robert Krizek without proper attribution. Despite advocating for the importance of citing the work of BIPOC individuals, she is accused of failing to adhere to these principles in her academic work, which has raised significant ethical concerns. Critics, including Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars, have characterized her actions as akin to academic forgery. The allegations come amid a broader scrutiny of plagiarism among high-profile academics, undermining the credibility of DiAngelo's work in the anti-racism field. These incidents have sparked discussions about accountability and integrity in academia, particularly among those who claim to promote social justice.
