The Brains and Bones Project: Using Embodied Teaching to Teach Embodiment

Rosen, Sarah; Barton, Robert

Abstract

This article summarises the initial phase of a new project, Brains and Bones, which seeks to teach audiences of all ages about evolutionary anthropology and the embodied relationships between our brains, bones, and the world around us. Using an embodied teaching paradigm, Brains and Bones conveys information tangibly through interactive and reflexive activities with participants. By enabling participants through an enactive and hands-on approach, we hope to make the rich field of evolutionary anthropology accessible to the wider community and engage audiences with research conducted at Durham University.
