About the Book

From the social sciences to the humanities, and the hard sciences to business and law, contemplative approaches to higher education have been creatively and effectively developed to stabilize and sharpen concentration and attention, deepen the understanding of course material, engender and foster compassion and connection, and encourage and support creativity and insight. Bringing together leading practitioners from the fields of Physics, Economics, Social Work, Law, Business, Religion, Neuroscience, Music, English, Political Science, Environmental Policy, and Chemistry, Contemplative Practices in Higher Education showcases the use and effectiveness of contemplative practices in any discipline. Chapter contributors explain and describe the benefits and motivation for contemplative practices, their implementation and outcomes, the pitfalls and problems that can arise from using this pedagogy, and how these practices can be applied to other disciplines. For those already familiar with contemplative practices or for those entirely new to this pedagogy, Contemplative Practices in Higher Education provides insights into innovative teaching and learning practice. This book is an important resource for those who want to improve their teaching and make education a richer and more meaningful experience both for students and their instructors.
