Abstract

The second day of the conference began with a book contributors’ panel involving scholars, Adrian Downey, Christopher T. McCaw and John Quay, and Christina Flemming, who offered presentations on mindset theory, Buddhist praxis, and letter writing as research. This was followed by a second book contributors’ panel involving Vikas Baniwal, Paul Stemmler and Krista Ritchie, and Rajean Willis, who covered the topics of dialogue, positive psychology, and explorations of trauma. The third panel of the day continued with the book contributors Susan Brigham, Diane Obed, and David Sable, who considered the connections between meditative inquiry and Africentric principles, Indigeneity, and mindfulness. The fourth panel featured Nayha Acharya, Mohamed Kharbach, and Michael Cosgrove, highlighting themes around law and dispute resolution, critical discourse analysis, and the alignment of meditative inquiry and philosophy. Lastly, a teacher’s panel involving Alexandra (Ali) Barclay, Dawn Erley, Carolyn Prest, Yelena Smith, and Jack J. Ward, shared how meditative inquiry is creatively applied in a variety of public-school settings.
