Download The Slow Professor: Challenging the Culture of Speed in the Academy AudioBook Free
When there is one sector of population that should be cultivating deep thought in itself and more, it is academia. Yet the corporatisation of the modern day university has sped up the clock, requiring increased speed and efficiency from faculty whatever the repercussions for education and scholarship or grant. In The Slow Teacher, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber discuss how adopting the key points of the Slow movement in academic life can counter this erosion of humanistic education. Focusing on the individual faculty member and his or her own professional practice, Berg and Seeber present both an evaluation of the culture of speed in the academy and means of alleviating stress while bettering teaching, research, and collegiality. The Slow Teacher will be a must-listen for anyone in academia concerned about the frantic speed of contemporary university life.
