Embodied or somatic learning is a way of learning that relies on the body’s knowledge. Our most basic form of learning in childhood is preverbal; however, traditional schooling forces us to check our bodies at the door, requiring us to sit at a desk and raise our hands, focusing primarily on cognition to the exclusion of other ways of knowing. By the time we reach adulthood, “being in our bodies” is a foreign concept and a source of discomfort for many of us.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume challenges the dominant paradigm of how knowledge is constructed and shared. Embodied learning is examined through a variety of practice contexts, including higher education, community education, health care, and the workplace, and through multiple methods, including dance, theater, and outdoor experiential education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is 134\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series \u003ci\u003eNew Directions for Adult and Continuing Education\u003c\/i\u003e.
