‘Embodiment is the future’: What is embodiment and is it the future paradigm for learning and teaching in higher education?

Abstract

In this opinion piece I present a brief introduction to embodiment and offer practical examples of embodied pedagogy. My overarching argument is that embodiment theory and practice merit a paradigmatic status in higher education pedagogies and a sub-theme is that using embodiment as a foundation for pedagogic praxis is usefully done in collaboration with the wealth of embodiment professionals working in different embodiment modalities across the globe. This piece includes some of the observations and practices I have encountered from such professionals.
