Two Canadian academics, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber, have written a book, The Slow Professor, explaining how we can reduce the frantic pace and multi-layered commitments of today’s universities and still maintain standards. Though the authors write from the perspective of those with tenure, they advocate for changing our academic culture so that everyone in it can have time to reflect.
Here are two reviews of the book, if your busy schedule doesn’t allow you time to read the whole thing!
