Jennifer Leigh is Lecturer in Higher Education and Academic Practice at the Centre for Study of Higher Education, University of Kent.
"""Dr Jennifer Leigh’s training in body-mind-movement work and her multi-disciplinary background in higher education and academic practice are put into excellent service in this edited collection. In bringing together a wide range of pedagogic, practice-based and performative understandings of embodiment, the book provides a theoretical and practical grounding for anyone wanting to take the pulse of the contested state of embodiment studies across a wide range of higher education disciplines. Written as a series of reflexive conversations, this book provides an accessible introduction to embodiment as a living, breathing, worldly engagement which breaks down the tired binary of theory/practice."" Carol A. Taylor, Professor of Higher Education and Gender, University of Bath. ""Creating a sense of theater-in-the-round to contemplate embodiment from a range of disciplines and perspectives, this volume will engage and compel its reading audience, with vibrant, expansive, dialogical, and timely ideas."" Liora Bresler, PhD, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Professor in the College of Education, Curriculum and Instruction, and the School of Art and Design."
