Join us for a conversation with Mimi Khúc on un/wellness in the academy and pedagogies of unwellness. This smaller session has faculty and graduate instructors in mind: How do we hold our commitments to generating knowledge, transformative pedagogy, and our own un/wellness in environments centered on productivity rather than care? As Khúc asks: “What structures need to be in place to shift my relationship to work, to writing, to my needs, to my capacities?”

Suggested reading: Mimi Khúc, “Writing While Adjunct: A Contingent Pedagogy of Unwellness,” from Crip Authorship, eds. Mara Mills and Rebecca Sanchez(Duke UP, 2023): 25-32.
