188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Summary

I am currently working on a collection of creative non-fiction essays, and a collection of poems.

I am also conducting research in contemplative pedagogy. This field, which found its early roots in American academia, is particularly new in the Malaysian context. It involves the use of contemplative practices from a range of both secular and wisdom traditions from a range of backgrounds, in the higher education classroom. These practices include heightened 'looking', mindfulness, and contemplative inquiry.
