Today we speak with Susan Hrach, author of the book Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning (2021), which “shifts the focus of adult learning from an exclusively mental effort toward an embodied, sensory-rich experience, offering new strategies to maximize the effectiveness of time spent learning together on campus as well as remotely.” Along with co-host Caitlin DeClercq, Assistant Director at the Columbia CTL, Professor Hrach expands upon how movement and space impact cognition and learning, and discusses some of the dead ideas this research debunks. Resource: Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning (2021) by Susan Hrach ﻿Transcript available at ctl.columbia.edu/podcast

Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning with Susan Hrach

In this episode, we continue our mini-series on bodies and embodiment produced by Leah Marion Roberts, Senior Graduate Teaching Fellow at the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching. Leah has been interviewing experts who can help us understand why paying attention to bodies in teaching and learning spaces is so important. Leah talks with Susan Hrach, Director of the Faculty Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning and Professor of English at Columbus State University.Leah reached out to Susan because Susan is the author of the book Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning, published in 2021 by West Virginia University Press. In the interview, Susan Hrach shares some core understandings of bodies from her research, how those principles play out in the classroom, and some very practical ways to enhance student learning and belonging through attention to bodies and the physical learning environment.Links:•	Susan’s website -  https://susanhrach.com/•	Susan’s Book Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning - https://wvupressonline.com/node/866•	@SusanHrach on Twitter - https://twitter.com/SusanHrach•	Annie Murphy Paul, The Extended Mind (2021) https://anniemurphypaul.com/books/the-extended-mind/ •	On Being podcast with Bessel Van Der Kolk (2021) https://onbeing.org/programs/bessel-van-der-kolk-trauma-the-body-and-2021/

Episode 108 - Susan Hrach

Welcome to Episode 63 of the Think UDL podcast: Minding Bodies, Senses, and Perception with Susan Hrach.  Susan Hrach is the author of the book Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning and the Director of the Faculty Center for Enhancement of Teaching and Learning and Professor of English at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia. In today’s episode, we talk about the content of her Minding Bodies book as it relates to perception, specifically the UDL guideline to provide multiple options for student perception which often include alternatives for auditory and visual information. We also talk a little neuroscience and brain efficiency, multi-sensory learning, how emotions influence learning, how important really noticing is, and questioning or interrogating our own perceptions. Aside from a reference to The Princess Bride, we share some really helpful resources along the way that are listed on the ThinkUDL.org webpage for episode 63, so please peruse those at your leisure. Now, go out and take a walk, move your body, smell some flowers, put your feet in a creek or some other form of bodily or sensory stimulation while you listen to this episode of Think UDL.
