The Slow Professor by Berg, Maggie; Seeber, Barbara K.;

Hosszú leírás:

A decade after its initial release, The Slow Professor: Challenging the Culture of Speed in the Academy returns with an expanded anniversary edition that both reaffirms and reignites its call to resist the corporatization of academic life. In The Slow Professor, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber discuss how adopting the principles of the Slow movement in academic life can counter the erosion of humanistic education. Building on their original groundbreaking work, the authors offer fresh insights and reflections on the evolving landscape of higher education, while thoughtfully responding to critiques of Slow principles.
This edition includes the full original text, a foreword by Stefan Collini, a new introduction, and sixteen contributions from academics and professionals across disciplines, institutions, and career stages. The contributors share personal observations on how The Slow Professor has influenced their teaching, research, and practices over the past ten years, adding nuance, insight, and practical examples to the ongoing relevance of the Slow movement within academic life.
As pressures of corporatization and efficiency continue to intensify, this anniversary edition reemphasizes the urgent need to confront and counter the culture of speed and promote more sustainable, meaningful ways of working. The Slow Professor, Tenth Anniversary Edition is a must-read for new and returning readers in academia concerned about the frantic pace of contemporary university life.
