Alice Pedersen presents “The Practices and Politics of Yoga”

IAS faculty member Alice Pedersen attended the Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education annual conference in San Jose, CA. This year's theme, "Radicalizing Contemplative Education: Compassion, Intersectionality, and Justice in Challenging Times" offered discussion and workshops on integrating social justice pedagogies with contemplative pedagogies. Pedersen presented a poster on the research and development of her current course, "The Practices and Politics of Yoga," which integrates Discovery Core 1 with Interdisciplinary Writing, and relies on daily contemplative and embodied practices in the classroom.
