Slow Professoring: Navigating the Complex and Controversial Management of Your Teaching and Scholarly Time for Holistic Wellbeing

The corporatization of institutions of higher education for efficiency and competition and the demands for promotion, tenure, and accreditation have increased the workload and time pressures on full-time faculty. This session will (1) offer a discussion of the ways in which faculty time has become more crowded, and (2) surface ways in which faculty can adopt a “Slow Professor” approach to all aspects of their professional academic lives to enhance their wellbeing and that of their students. This roundtable discussion is intended for faculty in all stages of their career, but especially those who are pre-tenure through mid-career.
