The embodied learning approaches described by Susan Hrach are inclusive, low-tech, low-cost strategies that deepen the development of disciplinary knowledge and skills. Campus change-makers will also find recommendations for supporting a transformational mission through an attention to students' embodied learning experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Hrach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949199983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949199987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e West Virginia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Susan Hrach","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989137391871,"sku":"9781949199987","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99ceef68-76a8-41cb-92ee-5715c54c5b16.jpg?v=1683297792","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/minding-bodies-susan-hrach-9781949199987","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
