(Wellbeing and Self-care in Higher Education) 1st Edition
by Narelle Lemon (Editor)
This
volume focuses on individual and collective practices of creativity,
embodiment and movement as acts of self-care and wellbeing.
Creative
Expression and Wellbeing in Higher Education positions creative
expression as an important act for professionals working in higher
education, as a way to connect, communicate, practice activism or simply
slow down. Through examples as diverse as movement through dance and
exercise, expression through drawing, writing or singing and creating
objects with one’s hands, the authors share how individual and
collective acts of creativity and movement enhance, support and embrace
wellbeing, offering guidance to the reader on how such creative
expression can be adopted as self-care practice. This book highlights
how connection to hand, body, voice and mind has been imperative in this
process for expression, fl ow and engagement with self and wellbeing
practices.
Self-care and wellbeing are complex at the
best of times. In higher education, these are actions that are
constantly being grappled with personally, collectively and
systematically. Designed to support readers working in higher education,
this book will also be of great interest to professionals and
researchers.
