Wenger, Don Donahue, Tara Reeser, Susan H. McLeodFort Collins, CO and Anderson, SC :The WAC Clearinghouse and Parlor Press,2015.1 online resource (206 p.)In Yoga Minds, Writing Bodies, Christy Wenger argues for the inclusion of Eastern-influenced contemplative education within writing studies. She observes that, although we have "embodied" writing education in general by discussing the rhetorics of racialized, gendered and disabled bodies, we have done substantially less to address the particular bodies that occupy our classrooms. She proposes that we turn to contemplative education practices that engages student bodies through fusing a traditional curriculum with contemplative practices including yoga, meditation and the martial arts. Drawing strength from the recent "quiet revolution" (Zajonc) of contemplative pedagogy within postsecondary education and a legacy of field interest attributable to James Moffett, this project draws on case studies of first-year college writers to present contemplative pedagogy as a means of teaching students mindfulness of their writing and learning in ways that promote the academic, rhetorical work accomplished in first-year composition classes while at the same time remaining committed to a larger scope of a writer's physical and emotional well-being.Education / Teaching Methods & Materials / Arts & HumanitiesbisacshEducationEducation / Teaching Methods & Materials / Arts & HumanitiesEducation.Wenger Christy I1786608Donahue DonReeser TaraMcLeod Susan HScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910831877103321Yoga Minds, Writing Bodies4318478UNINA
