The Slow Professor: Challenging the Culture of Speed in the Academy is a short work of academic criticism and manifesto by Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber. Published by University of Toronto Press, it applies ideas from the broader Slow movement to university life, arguing that contemporary higher education has become dominated by speed, measurement, and productivity demands. Rather than treating this pace as normal or inevitable, the book examines how corporatized values reshape teaching, research, and collegial life. Berg and Seeber focus especially on the emotional and intellectual costs of constant acceleration, including stress, distraction, and the erosion of reflective thought. Their purpose is not simply to recommend doing less, but to defend forms of academic work that require time, attention, and human connection. Writing in a concise and accessible style, they offer a critique of audit culture while also proposing a different vision of scholarly life, one grounded in deliberation, pleasure, understanding, and community.
