The Center for Innovative Pedagogy will host a discussion for faculty about "Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning" by Susan Hrach on July 16 and 30.
Lunch will be provided.
"Minding Bodies" aims to help instructors improve their students’ knowledge and skills through physical movement, attention to the spatial environment, and sensitivity to humans as more than “brains on sticks.” It shifts the focus of adult learning from an exclusively mental effort toward an embodied, sensory-rich experience, offering new strategies to maximize the effectiveness of time spent learning together on campus as well as remotely.
