A Light in the Tower
University Press of Kansas (Verlag)
978-0-7006-3633-4 (ISBN)
A Light in the Tower argues that excellent education and radical support for mental health struggles can coexist and provides detailed advice for how to do so. Meanwhile, Pryal debunks claims that supporting student mental health harms educational rigor (coining the term “rigor angst” to discuss the fear that rigor is declining). She outlines actionable steps professors and administrators can take to address the problem, including abandoning ableist and exclusionary campus culture; replacing “bad-hard” work that creates unnecessary logistical difficulties for students in favor of “good-hard” work that challenges them intellectually, providing an easy path to disability accommodations; and teaching accessibly for neurodivergent students.
Katie Rose Guest Pryal, is an author, neurodiversity expert, and adjunct professor of law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is the author of Life of the Mind Interrupted: Essays on Mental Health and Disability in Higher Education and the award-winning Even If You’re Broken: Bodies, Boundaries, and Mental Health.
