Embodied Spirituality in Teaching and Research
This session explores the relationship between spirituality, lived experience and knowledge through the lens of Womanist thought. We consider how embodied and experiential approaches to spirituality challenge traditional ways of knowing, and how personal faith, reflexivity and lived experience can shape teaching, research and understandings of social justice.
