Popis: Deep understanding resides in our bodies. To understand is to draw on the sensations on your skin, in your bones, and in the pit of your stomach. It is to feel the pain and suffering of others, as if it is experienced by your own body. In times of social unrest and division, embodied understanding, rather than logical rationalization, becomes paramount. Embodied understanding minimizes divisiveness and demolishes the borders that create a sense of otherness. As academic writers, we are responsible for cultivating embodied ways of knowing by writing reflexively about our practices and depicting them in rich sensorial ways.
