Mindfulness Conversations, Episode 4: Barry Kroll

Barry Kroll teaches in the English Department at Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA), where he is the Robert Rodale Professor of Writing. Before coming to Lehigh in 1995, he taught at Iowa State University and Indiana University. During his academic career, Kroll has investigated the development of writing abilities in children, explored patterns of writing and reflective thinking in adolescents, and, most recently, developed an innovative approach to teaching argument for college students. In his book, The Open Hand: Arguing as an Art of Peace (2013), he explains how the body movements of aikido as as as practices of mindfulness meditation can support a transformative approach to arguing with adversaries. Most recently, he's been teaching courses on Outdoor Literature, including the course he will talk about in this Conversation, "Contemplative Walking in Literature and Life." He's an outdoor enthusiast and a fly fisherman, and is the lead faculty member for a program that will take Lehigh students for a semester of study in the American West, in Wyoming and New Mexico -- a program jeopardized by the pandemic. Sit back, get a cup of your favorite warm beverage, and join Emily and Barry talk about ways to find contemplative -- mindfulness -- practices in the beauty of the outdoors.
