Self-Care as Professionalization: A Case for Ethical Doctoral Education in Composition Studies

Dana Lynn Driscoll ; S. Rebecca Leigh ; Nadia Francine Zamin

Abstract

Through surveys and interviews of 433 doctoral faculty and students, we explore professional self-care practices and related issues of academic guilt, imposter syndrome, and burnout. We argue that self-care should be included as a professional practice, taught and modeled, to prepare doctoral students for careers as functional and healthy faculty.
