It reflects a personal journey in teaching science and trans-cultural medicine in the African setting. In addition, it describes how the author became an initiate as a traditional healer in Zimbabwe. The book combines educational theory, research and lived experiences of teaching in southern Africa with the ideas of the indigenous healers of the region. Incorporating new knowledge of African indigenous knowledge and traditional healers, the book provides insights about, and suggestions for teaching and caring that are both surprising and energizing for our future. 410 0$aCultural Studies of Science Education,$x1879-7237 ;$v10 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching 606 $aMedical education 606 $aScience Education 606 $aMedical Education 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aMedical education. 615 14$aScience Education. 615 24$aMedical Education. 676 $a370 676 $a507.1 676 $a610.71 700 $aHewson$b Mariana G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01225239 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484969503321 996 $aEmbracing Indigenous Knowledge in Science and Medical Teaching$92844848 997 $aUNINA
