"Embodiment" is a concept that crosses traditional disciplinary
boundaries. However, it is a contested term, and the literature is
fragmented, particularly within Higher Education. This has resulted
in silos of work that are not easily able to draw on previous or
related knowledge in order to support and progress understanding.
Conversations on Embodiment Across Higher Education brings a
cohesive understanding to congruent approaches by drawing on
discussions between academics to explore how they have used
embodiment in their work. This book brings academics from fields
including dance, drama, education, anthropology, early years,
sport, sociology and philosophy together, to begin conversations on
how their understandings of embodiment have impacted on their
teaching, practice and research. Each chapter explores an aspect of
embodiment according to a particular disciplinary or theoretical
perspective, and begins a discussion with a contributor with
another viewpoint. This book will appeal to academics, researchers
and postgraduate students from a diverse range of disciplinary
areas, as evidenced by the backgrounds of the contributors. It will
be of particular interest to those in the fields of education,
sociology, anthropology, dance and drama as well as other movement
or body-orientated professionals who are interested in the ideas of
embodiment.
