In her dissertation, which focuses on the sociology of mental health, she uses C. Wright Mills\u2019 concept of the \u201csociological imagination\u201d to emphasize the ways in which much stress and distress in our current neoliberal age have both social roots and solutions. Together, the three papers of her dissertation wrestle with human <em>being<\/em>\u2014as fundamentally social and relational\u2014in a world that cares mostly for human <em>doing<\/em>. \u201cThe phrase \u2018human beings, not human doings\u2019 was originally imparted to me by a mentor in college,\u201d Abby explains. \u201cIt guides my research, teaching, administrative, and service work as I aim to prioritize human worth apart from productive output\u2014which can sometimes feel like a radical move in a cultural system of value built on human instrumentality and in an academic environment with cultural imperatives such as \u2018publish or perish.\u2019\u201d Overall, Abby believes it is critical to emphasize the role that mental health and wellbeing play in teaching, writing, and the teaching of writing. \u201cI\u2019m passionate about recognizing writing as a process, not just a product,\u201d she explains, \u201cand I\u2019m especially eager to explore the emotional and psychological challenges of that process.\u201d In her new role as Teaching Faculty, she works with undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty and instructors to facilitate meaningful and sustainable teaching and learning around writing. Outside of her academic work, she enjoys co-directing a local dance company, crocheting and other crafts, watching television, and spending time with her orange tabby cat, Desmond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:22px\">Seth Umbaugh<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Umbaugh-Seth-portrait-Jan.-2024-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14901\" style=\"width:240px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Umbaugh-Seth-portrait-Jan.-2024-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Umbaugh-Seth-portrait-Jan.-2024-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Umbaugh-Seth-portrait-Jan.-2024-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Umbaugh-Seth-portrait-Jan.-2024-1536x2048.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seth Umbaugh (he\/him) first joined the UW-Madison Writing Center as a Teaching Assistant from the English department. Early in the course of his work with the Writing Center, he discovered that he enjoyed the conversational approach to teaching which one-to-one sessions encouraged. Through Writing Center partnerships with <a href=\"https:\/\/odyssey.wisc.edu\/\">UW-Madison\u2019s Odyssey Project<\/a> and his work with <a href=\"https:\/\/writing.wisc.edu\/mwa\/\">Madison Writing Assistance<\/a>, Seth learned further the breadth of benefits one-to-one writing consultations can have for students. As a new Teaching Faculty in the UW-Madison Writing Center, Seth continues to work closely with campus partners and community members to expand access to high quality academic support for underserved student populations. Guided by his own experience as a first-generation college student from a working-class, single-parent family, Seth aims to help students feel more comfortable with a system that does not always feel welcoming or intuitive to navigate for those who are unfamiliar with its culture and operations. In addition to his work in the Writing Center, Seth is a PhD candidate in English Literature at UW-Madison. His dissertation considers working-class U.S. literature from the 1930s and the narrative strategies black and white radical authors used to forge political solidarity across racial and ideological differences. In his free time, Seth likes to run on Madison\u2019s many bike paths, play with his dog, write and read poetry, and talk on the phone for hours at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In August 2023, thanks to the support of English Department and the College of Letters &amp; Science (among others), UW-Madison\u2019s Writing Center and Writing Across the Curriculum programs welcomed two full-time teaching faculty, Abigail (Abby) Letak and Seth Umbaugh.&nbsp; Although both Abby and Seth have extensive experience with UW-Madison\u2019s Writing Center and WAC, they come [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":96,"featured_media":14895,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,217,142,36,7,141,140,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-director","category-madison-writing-assistance","category-staff-introductions","category-uw-madison-writing-center-alumni-voices","category-writing-across-the-curriculum","category-writing-center-academic-staff","category-writing-center-staff","category-writing-centers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
