Inspired by our editorial work at Connecting Writing Centers Across Borders (wlnjournal.org/blog), we founded Slow Agency as a way to open up time and space in this productivity-saturated culture to slow down and dialogue with leading thinkers and practitioners in writing studies worldwide. The title of the podcast is inspired by Lauren Micciche's 2011 article titled For Slow Agency. This work is licensed under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.

E31 Unwell Writing Centers with Genie Giaimo
Slow Agency is back with another round of insightful conversations about writing, writing centers, and the people who make them work for students. On this episode, we invited Dr. Genie Giaimo to help us unpack the meaning of an un-well writing center, which she writes about in her book Unwell Writing Centers: Searching for Wellness in Neoliberal Educational Institutions and Beyond. Dr. Giaimo also shared systematic measures that writing center directors can take to ensure that their risk management and emergency plans prepare them for unforeseen crises and go beyond commodified self-care.
