Hello there!

Episode Seven
Physical space, sensation, and movement affects learning?? Nonsense! Powerpoint does!
Plus, slides are even more amazing since AI can automatically input images of people with bizarre facial expressions and eight fingers!
As nonsensical as that last line is, how ridiculous is it that learning (for whatever age) has lost ‘touch’ (pun intended!) with the fact that physical space, sensation, and movement affects learning?
This is why Dr Susan Hrach’s book Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning grabbed our attention. And while we’re talking about attention, here’s a quote from Susan’s book that we loved.
“The goal of increasing one's IA (Interoceptive Awareness) isn't to become more accurate but rather to gain more control over our attention to internal signals and to better regulate our responses to them.”
As the hype train for AI in learning continues to gather pace, it’s the marginal (playful renegade) voices advocating for IA that we should also be listening to.....so go listen!
Susan Who?
Dr Susan Hrach is the author of the 2022 Silver Nautilus Award-winning book Minding Bodies: how physical space, sensation, and movement affect learning (WVU Press, 2021). As an undergraduate, she spent a year studying at the Universität Innsbruck, Austria, which shaped her lifelong interests in world literature, translation studies, and global education.
Her international teaching experiences inform her ongoing research and practice. In 2022-23, she served as Fulbright Canada Distinguished Research Chair in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at Carleton University in Ottawa.
Currently, Director of the Faculty Center and professor of English at Columbus State University in Georgia, Dr Hrach has been recognized by the University System of Georgia with a statewide Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Award; she has also served as a scholar for the USG’s Executive Leadership Institute.
