In this episode, Frank Anderson from the School of Medicine and Ed Sarath from the School of Music discuss how and why developing a consciousness lens is important in higher education.  Through mindful awareness and other techniques, the bulk of the conversation explores how we may catalyze fundamentally new kinds of thinking, conversation, collaboration, and curricular and research innovation.  Consciousness, a relative newcomer to the academy, and it's transformative possibilities by grounding all endeavor in the innermost dimensions of awareness has to potential to tranform the experience of students.
