Slow Academia – Wonder, Wandering, Generosity & Presence in the University
This season of PaTHES webinars explores slow academia. Typically defined in the negative – something other than frenetic, competitive, metricised, anxiety-promoting academia – its advocates are most visible in academic self-help such as Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber’s (2016) 'The slow professor', and its critics on social media including The Thesis Whisperer blog (
Slow academia is for the privileged) and The Post-Pandemic University ( Four reasons slow scholarship will not change academia). PaTHES are delighted to host several scholars who have engaged critically with the idea of slowness – as a topic or as a mode of doing academic work – to explore possibilities for inhabiting the university differently.
