The Joy of Embodied Learning, with Leslie Bayers

Today on episode number 580 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast, The Joy of Embodied Learning with Leslie Bayers. Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. Welcome to this episode of Teaching in Higher Ed. I'm Bonnie Stahoviak and this is the space where we explore the art and science of being more effective at facilitating learning. We also share ways to improve our productivity approaches so we can have more peace in our lives and be even more present for our students.

I'm so pleased to be welcoming to the show today Dr. Leslie Bayers. She's the director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Pacific, where she promotes equity-minded and evidenced-informed teaching and facilitates faculty mentoring and scholarship support. Before shifting her focus to educational development, she was a faculty member in Spanish and Latin American studies and taught language, writing, literature and film courses.

She's published in critical studies exploring intersections of power, race, and performance in Andean literature, as well as in translations of Peruvian poetry. Her more recent scholarship questions inherited practices in higher ed and explores frameworks that empower college teachers and learners. Most recently, and the topic for today's interview, she contributed the joy of embodied learning to the book Joy-Centered Pedagogy in Higher Education, Uplifting Teaching and Learning for All, edited by Eileen Camfield. Leslie Bayers, welcome to Teaching in Higher Ed.
