Books for Breakfast -The Slow Professor: Challenging the Culture of Speed

Drake University - Provost's Office

Berg and Seeber discuss how the principles of the Slow movement in academic can  counter this erosion of humanistic education.

Faculty are invited to join Deputy Provost Renée Cramer for “Books for Breakfast.” Each month, we’ll engage a different reading related to work-life integration, thriving in the profession, the development of the neoliberal university, and the role of creativity and scholarship in our professional lives. Pick which readings and months work for you, and join us for lively conversation. Pre-registration for each book and set of sessions is required, so we can purchase books, and either order food (for in person gatherings) or send a Zoom link. There will be two meetings, Oct. 20 and 27, 8:30 - 9:30 am. Please do not sign up unless you can attend both sessions.If these days/times don’t work for you, but you’re interested, don’t despair – we’ll be repeating the book on different days, in coming months.

Our {communityGuidelinesLink} describe the sort of content we prohibit on Eventbrite. If you suspect an event may be in violation, you can report it to us so we can investigate.
