The depressed is a dispersed feeling of dread and weariness that has as much to do with cultural forces and planetary circumstances as it does with the intense feeling of solitary helplessness. The depression is not so much an individual experience, not located, at least not solely in the depressed subject. It's a state of things. I'd like to read a little bit from your book, the pedagogy of the depressed.
Christopher Schaberg talks about his book, Pedagogy of the Depressed, on episode 398 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
Just talking to students once or twice a week is so important.
