Considering a Voice of the Body for Adult Transformative Learning Theory

Unknowingly, much of the population of the Western World are thinking machines who live and learn isolated from somatic experiences. They distrust their bodies in the learning process and are stuck living out unquestioned realities of embodied socioculturalism and rationalism which guide decision making, learning and ways of being. Considering a voice of the body involved delving into the physical dimension of somatic transformative learning from the bodily-lived experiences of seven women who were in a first-level experiential Nia® dancing and movement training program. Together, these women offered a voice of the body offering that phases of transformative learning was moving through processes of being stuck, self-allowing, coming to awareness and being connected within the context of learning by experience. Transformative learning processes were (re)living and trying-on felt-meanings of the lifeworld mirrored within personal experiencing spaces and the social experiencing space of the training. Engaging the human body in transformative learning was learning by experiencing the body as a site of knowing and learning, capable of generating dilemmas, breakthroughs, and shifting perspectives. Accessing somatic knowledge were other ways of knowing about unconscious habits and meaning-making, offering a somatic perspective for a more inclusive theory of adult transformative learning

A preferred vision for administering elementary schools : a reflective essay

Throughout my life I have tried to engage myself in activities that were opportunities for me to make a difference. Whether it be involvement in community clean-up projects or parks and recreation programs for children, my intentions were always to use my time to do good for a cause or another person. I carried this belief with me into college while I was in search of what I wanted to become when I grew up. I looked in several directions on the basis of some fundamental goals I had for myself. First, I knew I wanted to be in a position in which I could positively influence other people. I wanted people to be better after having known me than they were before. Next, I wanted to impact the future. hoped that whatever it was I was doing today would somehow carry on in someone else tomorrow. Finally, I was looking for an environment in which I could make decisions and to collaborate with others. I wanted to belong to a group of people who worked towards the same goa Is, shared ideas, and inspired one another. After having defined these goals, it became very clear that education was where I belonged, and where I could once again make a difference

Practicing Imperfect Forgiveness

Forgiveness is typically regarded as a good thing - even a virtue - but acts of forgiveness can vary widely in value, depending on their context and motivation. Faced with this variation, philosophers have tended to reinforce everyday concepts of forgiveness with strict sets of conditions, creating ideals or paradigms of forgiveness. These are meant to distinguish good or praiseworthy instances of forgiveness from problematic instances and, in particular, to protect the self-respect of would-be forgivers. But paradigmatic forgiveness is problematic for a number of reasons, including its inattention to forgiveness as a gendered trait. We can account for the values and the risks associated with forgiving far better if we treat it as a moral practice and not an ideal

Gender debates in literature 1683-1701 : the Gould-Egerton and Sprint-Eugenia-Chudleigh controversies : a thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English at Massey University

During the late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-centuries debates about issues of gender and sexual behaviour became prominent in literary discourse. These gender debates were informed by traditions of western literature such as the classical Greeks and Romans and the Bible. In two of these debates we can see the adaptations of misogynist writings to support claims of male superiority, expressions of male desire and women's inherently evil and depraved natures. In contrast, the women reassess the traditions to make room for female equality, expression and expectations. In the work of Robert Gould, Sarah Egerton, John Sprint, "Eugenia" and Lady Mary Chudleigh, we see a crystallisation of arguments in gender debates. Each writer describes their expectations of men's and women's behaviour and voices assumptions about the sexes based on current ideologies. In the works of the women writers we can trace the development of early English feminism
