Field Journal 022: I'm wondering what satire you have been enjoying

Published about 14 hours ago • 3 min read

This last week, I enjoyed sharing some digital and analog ways to engage students. Plus I got to enjoy reading some satire to prepare for an upcoming episode so much that I invite you to share some that you've been enjoying.

Listened

Episode 639

Analog and Digital Ways to Engage Learners

Even if you're behind on your podcast listening, I encourage you to visit the episode show notes for this one. I share a couple of people to follow, as well as some linked resources on the topic of engaging learners using both analog and digital approaches.

Satire We Can Relate To

Bedtime Stories for Academics by Talia Argondezzi

To prepare for an upcoming episode, I delighted in reading this satirical work by Talia Argondezzi. The conversation was edifying and went in some unexpected places and I look forward to getting to share it with you. In the meantime, can't recommend Talia's latest book enough.

​Bedtime Stories for Academics: Quibbles and Squabbles at Typical University​

Tried

A New Subject Line Approach

Here's to hoping the emails are easier to revisit now

Did you notice the slight change in the subject lines for these weekly Field Journals? I changed the Field Journal subject line formula after one reader said the old ones were easier to tell apart (thanks for reaching out).

Wondered

About Being Present

What you do to try to attend to the present moment?

Last week, I wondered how you seek to be more present. I didn't hear back from anyone. One can only hope, that's because you're all being so present that you didn't have time to share with us.

If I'm wrong about that and you could use some help cultivating presence, I highly recommend Liz Norell's book: The Present Professor. If you want a preview, enjoy episode 553, featuring Liz.

This week, I'm wondering:

What is a piece of satire that you've enjoyed, lately?

Hit reply to let me know. I'll choose a few to include in the next Field Journal. Let me know in your reply if you prefer to remain anonymous, as otherwise, I'll assume it is ok to include your name.

A Quote unrelated to Cats

About satire

This quote comes from the forthcoming episode with Talia:

Good satire has an edge, but it also comes from recognizing ourselves.
