Join a Book Discussion where it’s OK if you didn’t read the book!Unraveling Faculty Burnout: Pathways to Reckoning and Renewal, by Rebecca Pope-Ruark
Burnout, a mental health syndrome caused by chronic stress, is endemic to higher education and can unfortunately be seen as a badge of honor in a productivity-obsessed culture. This unique book blends memoir, key research, and reflection opportunities to help not only personally address burnout, but also explore, address and find strategies to mitigate burnout.
Pope-Ruark lays out four pillars of burnout resilience: purpose, compassion, connection, and balance. In our discussion, we will explore some of the themes that contribute to burnout and discuss productive strategies for developing balanced, meaningful workplace cultures.
