Description
The Slow Professor: Challenging the Culture of Speed in the Academy Academia is an institution that should cultivate deep thought and reflection, yet the corporatisation of the contemporary university has led to a culture of speed and efficiency that can have negative consequences for education and scholarship. In this book, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber explore how adopting the principles of the Slow movement can help counter this trend. By focusing on the individual faculty member and their professional practice, Berg and Seeber present a nuanced analysis of the culture of speed in the academy and offer practical ways to alleviate stress and improve teaching, research, and collegiality. This book is a valuable resource for anyone in academia seeking to rethink their approach to work and create a more sustainable and humanistic academic environment.
