To celebrate the release of the 2nd edition of my book, "Integrating Mindfulness Into Anti-Oppression Pedagogy," I invited Dr. Mays Imad to the podcast to dive deep into the power of mindfulness in the classroom.
Together, we delve into the challenges of being political in STEM fields, the intersection of mindfulness and social justice, and the importance of trauma-sensitive approaches in higher education. Join us for an insightful discussion on resilience, resistance, and the transformative potential of mindfulness in academia.
