Currently reading the collection «Practicing Embodied Thinking in Research and Learning» edited by Donata Schoeller, Sigridur Thorgeirsdottir, and Greg Walkerden and it is really very good! Not only does the concept of «embodied critical thinking» resonate with everything I’ve been working towards in my own research, but it also offers a really simple and common-sense antidote to AI in higher education, based on the notion of bringing our own embodied experiences and felt sense to critical t…

Practicing Embodied Thinking in Research and Learning | Donata Schoell
This book delves into the embodied ground of thinking, illuminating the transition from theorising about the embodied mind to actively practising embodied

Many of us probably hope that we’ll get back to normal when the #genAI bubble bursts, but this isn’t going to happen.

I love our little corner of the internet, and am so glad that it’s still here despite everyone who professed it was doomed to fade into irrelevance.

I need to write some essays about this, because the parallels are worth examining if for nothing else then simply for learning from the past.
