"Nobody Was Willing To Speak Out!" | The Academic Who First Exposed Jason Arday

A University of Cambridge professor at the centre of a high-profile plagiarism row has resigned after being placed under investigation.

Professor Jason Arday, a professor of sociology of education who became Cambridge’s youngest black professor in 2023, resigned from his post on Wednesday evening after the university launched an inquiry into his “academic qualifications and honorary appointments”.

It followed a series of media reports, including a story in the Daily Telegraph, alleging he plagiarised his PhD thesis and other research.

Speaking with Academic and Writer Nathan Cofnas, Talk's Alex Phillips says: "When did you first think there's something off with this man?"
