Hello colleagues and friends,
For the writing center directors among us,Slow Agency, the podcast about writing centers, is back! We have prepared another round of insightful conversations about writing, writing centers, and the people who make them work for students.
For our first discussion, we invited Dr. Genie Giamo to help us unpack the meaning of an un-well writing center, which she writes about in her book Unwell Writing Centers: Searching for Wellness in Neoliberal Educational Institutions and Beyond.
Dr. Giamo also shared systematic measures that writing center directors can take to ensure that their risk management and emergency plans prepare them for unforeseen crises and go beyond commodified self-care.
We hope you enjoy the episode, and please let us know what you think about the topic and how you see it applying to your context. You can leave a comment on the episode’s website here. Or you could leave your comment wherever you get your podcasts.
We really want to ensure that everything we talk about helps you in your work. If you’ve got someone you think would be great to speak with or a topic you’d like more conversation, please connect with us. Just write to enamubir .
All the best,
Esther Namubiru
