New Book Display: Embodied Learning & Hybrid Space

"We felt it. The pandemic shifted the collective bodily rhythms and habits of learning abruptly into different forms, forms determined largely by what we could call the technical stack. The addressability of email, the multi-modality of the web, the sight of our own streaming self on a screen, and so on, were not new, however. What was new was the way we felt their impact. “Zoom fatigue” gave name to just a small part of a deeper condition. But what we might also be learning is that this is part of a much longer question. What are we learning to do with our bodies when we learn? These selected books speak, in different ways, to relationships among bodies, learning, and technology. Hyper-text did not begin with the internet. Texts have always been about linking across themselves in different ways, but also between and across the bodies that read and write them."

Co-curated and designed by the Gottesman Libraries, Embodied Learning and Hybrid Space is a new book display in Everett Cafe that accompanies S-Portals: Superpositions in Stream Space, an interactive installation by Chris Moffett and Lucius Van Joo in the Second Floor Collaboration Space. 

At the Everett News Cafe, you'll find a new book collection every few weeks that relates to current events, education, or learning environments.
