Dr Laurel Waterman – Consciousness Education: Exploring Alternative Perspectives of Consciousness in Classrooms
How can we teach about nonlocal consciousness in schools?
In this webinar, Dr Laurel Waterman will share ideas about how to do consciousness education, which explores perspectives on the source and nature of consciousness and their implications for ways of being, knowing, teaching, and learning, based on findings from her doctoral research project: Teaching with Consciousness: Scholars’ Experiences Teaching about Consciousness Beyond the Brain. Thematic analysis of the narratives collected from the nine participants led to six themes: the three strands of consciousness education – culture, identity, and data; the role of experience; the challenge of integration; awareness of the story we are in; why consciousness education? – expanding notions of truth, self, and wellbeing; and teaching with consciousness. Together, these findings provide valuable insights into how to shift the paradigm for consciousness in formal education.
This webinar by Dr Laurel Waterman will be followed by live Q&A.
