  • Communities of Practice in the Age of Immediacy - Adventures in Advising
    Dec 22 2025

    In this experimental solo adventure, Ryan slips out of the usual interview cockpit and takes us on a narrative ride through meme history, advising philosophy, and the warp-speed culture tugging at all of us. What begins with Sweet Brown’s iconic “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” unfurls into a thoughtful exploration of how academic advisors navigate immediacy, burnout breezes, and the dream of true community in a profession built on quick turns and quicker expectations.

    Ryan digs into pop culture as public pedagogy, communities of practice that don’t always behave like communities, and the yearning to slow the academic hamster wheel without grinding it to dust. You’ll hear scholarly breadcrumbs, conference echoes, and a few philosophical lanterns lighting the way through modern advising life.
