The Slow Professor
If there is one sector of society that should be cultivating deep thought in itself and others, it is academia. Yet the corporatisation of the contemporary university has sped up the clock, demanding increased speed and efficiency from faculty regardless of the consequences for education and scholarship. In The Slow Professor, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber discuss how adopting the principles of the Slow movement in academic life can counter this erosion of humanistic education. Focusing on the individual faculty member and his or her own professional practice, Berg and Seeber present both an analysis of the culture of speed in the academy and ways of alleviating stress while improving teaching, research, and collegiality. The Slow Professor will be a must-read for anyone in academia concerned about the frantic pace of contemporary university life.
Growing Musicians

It considers the impact of music education on adolescents as they transition from child to adult as well as encourages music educators to mindfully examine their own teaching practice.
Chinese as a Second Language Multilinguals’ Speech Competence and Speech Performance
This book offers a comprehensive and systematic review of multilingual L2 learners’ spoken Chinese, focusing on the dual dimensions of speech competence and speech performance. Specifically, by adopting a mixed-methods approach, it explores the cognitive, affective, and socio-cultural differences between intermediate and advanced multilingual learners’ L2 Chinese speech competence and speech performance. Drawing on a theoretical framework underpinned by the affective filter hypothesis, L2 willingness to communicate model, L2 motivational self-system, and L2 speech production models, this book not only contributes to our theoretical understanding of the roles of various factors in L2 Chinese speech competence and speech performance, but also offers practical insights into the implications for both teachers and learners in terms of how to minimize the gap between these two dimensions among L2 Chinese learners. It concludes with a discussion on the limitations of L2 Chinese speech and on future directions for the field.

La docente Slow
Si hay un sector en la sociedad que debería fomentar la reflexión profunda en los demás y en sí mismo, ese sector es la academia. Sin embargo, la corporativización de las universidades contemporáneas ha acelerado el reloj, demandando un aumento de velocidad y en la eficiencia de los cuerpos docentes a pesar de las consecuencias negativas que esto acarrea para la educación y el conocimiento. En LA DOCENTE SLOW. CONTRA LA CULTURA DE LA VELOCIDAD EN LA ACADEMIA, Maggie Berg y Barbara K. Seeber discuten cómo es que adoptar los principios del movimiento Slow en la vida académica puede contrarrestar la erosión de la educación humanista. A partir de la revaloración del miembro individual del cuerpo docente y su práctica profesional, las autoras analizan el impacto de la cultura de la velocidad en la labor académica y las formas de aliviar el estrés mientras la enseñanza, la investigación y el compañerismo mejoran. Esta obra será una lectura indispensable para los profesores y los investigadores que están preocupados por el ritmo desenfrenado de la vida universitaria contemporánea.
