Book Synopsis
Taking you to the classrooms of Japanese preschools, this book explores the everyday, implicit behaviors that form a crucially important - but grossly understudied-aspect of educational practice. It focusses on how teachers embody their lessons: how they use their hands to gesture, comfort, or discipline; and more.

Trade Review
"Teaching Embodied is well written and clear-a delight to read. It does a beautiful job of illustrating, persuasively, culture as tacit, embodied, and intercorporeal." (Kathryn M. Anderson-Levitt, University of California, Los Angeles)
