Coming Full Circle: Reclaiming the Body
Lawrence, Randee Lipson
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n134 p71-78 Sum 2012
This volume has explored embodied knowing in formal and informal education, including the university classroom, the workplace, the health professions, and the community. Educators considered the role of intuition, theater, dance, yoga, and outdoor education activities as forms of embodied learning. While the contexts of education were different, six major themes emerged as common threads of the articles. These include: body wisdom, the role of the body in holistic learning, the role of the body in increasing awareness of self and others, the body in experiential and transformative learning, body pedagogy, and challenging dominant ideology through decolonization of the body. This article synthesizes key ideas from the volume, emphasizing the role of embodied knowing in becoming fully actualized human beings.
