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.

The book for September is Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle; we will meet via Zoom on Sept. 20 and Sept. 27 from 8:30–9:30 a.m. Please pre-register by Sept. 10 (enrollment is capped at 12).

The book for October is The Slow Professor: Challenging the Culture of Speed in the Academy; we will meet via Zoom on Oct. 20 and Oct. 27 from 8:30–9:30 a.m. Please pre-register by Oct. 1.

If these days/times don’t work for you, but you’re interested, don’t despair—we’ll be repeating both books on different days in November and December.
