Very disappointing. You made me sad, The Chair didn’t.
I invite you to listen to your podcast and mine it for ageism (at least the first one, I won’t be listening to the rest). I am an academic, female, from a working class background. I’m older than all of you, so that’s a brief part of my PoV. I adored The Chair, related to it a great deal and laughed a lot. I though I’d laugh a lot at your podcast, but it made me sad that you so clearly find the older faculty members in both The Chair and real life so disposable. You talk about the ‘invisible older woman’ as though you are empathising with her, but then you generalise how all ‘people of THAT generation’ are not into online learning, resistant to student engagement, and how the fact that COVID has made a lot of us leave is not a bad thing. Wow. You made me feel terrible and that fact that this came from a group of female academics who clearly think of themselves and intellectual powerhouses was really, really disappointing.

I found the show brilliantly accurate, despite of course some exaggerations. Despite working in a...Read full review »
