Listen Now:
We are joined by two fantastic guests this week on the Faculty Factory podcast for a conversation on nonviolent communication.
Drs. Cheri Lemieux Spiegel (Professor of English) and Paul Fitzgerald (Professor of Biology) together run the Annandale Center for Contemplative Practice (ACCP) at Northern Virginia Community College.
The ACCP supports faculty, staff, and students alike, our mission is to foster a mindful and non-violent approach in their personal and professional journeys.
According to its official website, “At the ACCP, we aim to foster a community of individuals who not only thrive in the classroom and within their work units, but also who engage in the personal work of identifying their own conscious and unconscious needs, identifying strategies for meeting those needs and fully embrace their complete humanity, recognizing the presence of needs as they exist in others, and, ultimately, challenging the prevailing depersonalizing culture that can exist in institutional spaces.”
A special shoutout goes to Heather Brod, who graciously introduced us to our guests on the Faculty Factory today! If you have someone in mind who would be a great fit for our show, we welcome you to reach out to us through our contact page: https://facultyfactory.org/contact-us/
