Dr. Irene Glendinning has recently retired from her most recent role as the Academic Integrity Lead for Coventry University Group after a long career over 40 years. Since 2010 she has focused on research into strategies for academic integrity, particularly concerning the design of workable institutional policies that deter misconduct in education and research and encourage a culture of scholarly learning. She continues to be engaged in research and international working groups focusing on improving academic integrity and fighting corruption, as part of the European Network for Academic Integrity.

He is the associate editor of Journal of Academic Ethics, and a member of the editorial board of International Journal of Educational Integrity.

Dr. Beatriz Antonieta Moya Figueroa has obtained a PhD from the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, Canada, in the Educational Research program, specializing in Leadership, Policy, and Governance. As a current Assistant Professor at the Instituto de Éticas Aplicadas at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, she aims to explore emerging academic integrity issues and support transformations in higher education institutions committed to academic integrity and social justice across teaching, learning, assessment, and research practices. Building on this motivation, she informs her research with methodologies that explore glocal (i.e., global and local) experiential and situated insights, drawing from the fields of academic integrity, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), leadership, and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).
