The focus of my research is embodied knowing (embodied cognition) in Eco-Paganism. These terms may need some explanation:

Embodied Cognition:

In the late 20th century researchers in both science and the humanities recognized that the body was essential to how we make sense of our world - our cognitive processes are embodied. Embodied cognition includes embodied knowledge and reasoning. The following links provide an overview of research in this area:

An overview

Important sources of research into embodied cognition include:

This work has been applied in various Embodied Methodologies.

The Embodiment Resources section of this site exists to facilitate further research.

Eco-Paganism:

Eco-Pagans are those Contemporary Pagans who partly express their spirituality through environmental activism and rituals of resistance.

Several significant research questions have emerged from my literature search.
