Abstract:
Questions of life and living, joy, and thriving beg more of educators and researchers who think and theorize about power, privilege, and oppression. This session confronts living in and against norms that contend for holistic wellness. It will offer recommendations for cultivating habits and creating environments that afford opportunities to affirm affective capacities, specifically, joy as a present and persistent way of being.
Outline:
• Narrative opening that complicates understandings of joy
• Brief review of literature relevant to the discussion
• Explore the potentialities of joy in our work and living
• Praxis: Collective reflection on how attendees can cultivate joy
• Takeaways: Setting the conditions for joy
• Q/A
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, the learner will be able to:
1. Complicate the notion of joy in their lives and work.
2. Examine the institutions, social pressures, and expectations that structure work and living.
3. Discuss tools to set the conditions for joy.
4. Long-term Goal: Joy is a matter of interiority. Joy is something we do and have the power to generate in ourselves. Like all skills, we can better attune to joy with practice.
