Description
Sharing Breath: Embodied Learning and Decolonization explores the intersection of embodiment and education, challenging traditional Western frameworks to incorporate more holistic approaches to teaching and learning.
The contributors to this collection examine the potential of embodied experiences such as yoga, mindfulness, illness, and trauma to inform pedagogy and promote social justice in education. They also acknowledge the complexities of decolonization within these contexts, engaging with the tension between these two goals in a thoughtful and deliberate manner.
