“Make Your Home Among Strangers” is the story of Lizet, the daughter of Cuban immigrants in Miami and a first-generation college student. Author and UNL professor of English and Ethnic Studies Jennine Capó Crucet will read selections from her debut novel that focus on Lizet’s challenges in navigating her first year of college, including her experiences as a student charged with plagiarism—when she’s not even entirely sure what that means.

Following the reading, Crucet will participate in a conversation about the novel and expanding the types of conversations we have on campus around plagiarism and academic integrity.

This session is part of Academic Integrity Week 2016. For more information about other events during this week, visit: http://ethics.unl.edu/academic-integrity-week.
