The Science of Contemplative Practice & Practice of Contemplative Science (2016, Aaron Godlaski)

The Science of Contemplative Practice and the Practice of Contemplative Science An ACMHE webinar with Prof. Aaron Godlaski Originally broadcast on March 29th, 2016 How best do we connect the pedagogy of contemplative practices with the scholarship of contemplative studies? Should we treat research and practice as dichotomy, or dialectic? In the interest of coming to a fuller understanding of how this affects the way we conduct ourselves and engage with one another as a community of practitioner-scholars, this webinar will explore two areas: the science of contemplative practice and the practice of contemplative science. Using my own successes and failures (with perhaps a greater focus on failures) in conducting research on contemplative practice and pedagogy, I hope to illustrate some of the important considerations and potential pitfalls of conducting this research at a small liberal arts institution. I also hope to illustrate that the field of contemplative studies is in a unique philosophical position to approach failure in research as being equally valid and informative as success. Thirdly, I will present recent research on the science of contemplation that aims to better organize how we describe these complex and deeply personal practices. My purpose here is to offer some new manners of speaking about contemplative practice that can both expand our understanding and capacity to conduct scholarship and research as well as serve as skillful means for communicating with our colleagues and administrators in the interest of connecting with and affecting our campus communities.
