About Rest with Alex and Z

Welcome to 'Round About Campus, the podcast for the About Campus magazine, the scholarly magazine of ACPA-College Student Educators International.

In our third season of 'Round About Campus, we take a go at having a book club. The book we have chosen to focus on for the season is Ashley Neese's Permission to Rest: Revolutionary Practices for Healing, Empowerment, and Collective Care. In this episode, co-hostesses Alex C. Lange and Z Nicolazzo talk about their own reflections on the book, set up the idea of a book club through the podcast, and discuss their own dis/connections with the notion of rest.   

In this episode, a number of people, publications, and bits of pop culture are discussed, including:

  • The work of Amanda Tachine;
  • Love My Naps, But Stay Woke: The Case Against Self-Care by Dian D. Squire and Z Nicolazzo;
  • The late Peter M. Magolda
  • The late Deanna S. Forney;
  • The Weather by Christina Sharpe;
  • Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (And the Next) by Dean Spade; 
  • The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner;
  • No Study Without Struggle: Confronting Settler Colonialism in Higher Education by Leigh Patel; and
  • The TV show The Good Place.

As always, if you have feedback or thoughts, do not hesitate to reach us via email at [email protected].
