Season 2: #1 - Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Generous Thinking
In this episode of Rocking the Academy, co-hosts Roopika Risam and Mary Churchill talk with Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Director of Digital Humanities and Professor of English at Michigan State University and author of Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University, about her ideas for the future of higher education. We talk with Kathleen about her career journey, responses to Generous Thinking, and ways that faculty and administrators can implement generous thinking in the academy. Kathleen sees hope for a different future of higher ed through rethinking internal reward structures for faculty, breaking out of traditional metrics, and questioning what we value in the academy.
