Citations are the stuff of academic nightmares! And students readily admit that. Given the way many of us approach talking about citations, student aversion to citation actually makes a lot of sense. In fact, student responses when talking about citations and plagiarism often mimic trauma responses—I like to call these reactions academic stressors. If we apply the insights of trauma/informed care to our instruction, we can mitigate these stressors to some degree. This presentation will look at this through the development of a citation workshop I present to students.
