Creative Expression and Wellbeing in Higher Education
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-07602-7 (ISBN)
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.
Narelle Lemon is an interdisciplinary researcher in the fi elds of education, positive psychology and arts, holding the positions of Associate Professor in Education and Associate Dean (Education) for the School of Social Sciences, Media, Film and Education at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.
