      abstract = {This book draws attention to the ways in which an  awareness of, and sensitivity to, embodiment can enlighten  educational practices. It explores discourses from a range  of thinkers, including Merleau-Ponty, Gadamer, Bakhtin,  Haraway and Ahmed to name a few. The book argues that  attention to embodiment can help us to reimagine the goals  of education in ways that fit more coherently with human  concerns and that offer the chance to provide education  that is more holistic and grounded in our corporeality.  Theories of embodiment can be used to modify education at  the level of curriculum and at the level of pedagogy. This  can help us design educational interventions that fit more  naturally with how humans are inclined to learn and thus  make educational experiences more meaningful. Attention to  embodiment allows us to appreciate the extent to which the  body appropriates a professional practice and the extent to  which a professional practice appropriates the body of the  learner. It shows how greater sensitivity to the body can  enliven and enlighten our educational practices, especially  in professional education.},
