Educational Embodiments: Life Writing the Body focuses on life writing
that centers body politics and embodiment in educational spaces. The
aim of the book is to consider, examine, and voice the lived, fleshy,
textured body as a site of politics, a site of embodied educative
experiences, and a site of learning and teaching. Researchers and
educators alike have long championed the disembodied researcher and
teacher as the ideal collectors and vehicles for knowledge production
and emphasized the intellect over the body in pedagogies, analyses,
and fieldwork. We are always enfleshed in diverse ways in various
locales, always changing, moving, becoming, aging, singing, aching,
growing, becoming marred and scarred and stronger and bigger, and
smaller again. We are embodied with others, interacting with other
body-mind-souls that awaken interrelational proxemics and kinesthetic
experiences. Educational Embodiments offers perspectives from which
scholars, teachers, and students can draw to support their work. The
14 chapters in this collection attend to national, international, and
local concerns, include varied theoretical and methodological
approaches, and reflect a range of class, ethnic, and racial
heritages. Chapters consider practical, theoretical, ethical, and
educational issues. The authors include established and emerging
scholars. The book sparks conversation, debate, and reflection and is
a valuable resource that inspires scholarship about how embodied
intersections shape the life-writing inquiry process.
