Details
Together, we will consider:
What is emotional labor, and who performs it? How does it fit into the larger structures of labor in the academy, and how can we better recognize and reward it?
What place does an instructor's vulnerability have in the classroom? Who has authority to be vulnerable, and how does our identity impact these choices?
Can we protect ourselves from burnout as instructors? In what ways can we reframe self-care as a community endeavor, rather than an individual instructor's problem to solve?
Please join us for this timely discussion! This event will take place in person at the Poorvu Center, Room 120A, and will include a box lunch.
