I made several podcast series that are available below some with PDFs as well.

Brain Body Movement

I did a series of fourteen lectures in a graduate course “Brain Body Movement” at the University of Colorado Boulder during Spring term 2009.The lectures discuss implications of human moving body from a variety of perspectives including philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, critical theory, and medicine. I discusses the implications in terms of the academic study of religion, the academy in general, and the way we understand dancing.  A detailed outline is available at Brain Body Movement PDF

2009 Lectures:

Vol 1:IntroductionPodcast
Vol 2:The Meaning of the Body Podcast
Vol 3:Tradition and Change: Memory and Neuroplasty Podcast
Vol 4:Imagination, Theory, Story Podcast

Vol 5:Color and Reality Podcast

Vol 6:Phantom and Reality Podcast
Vol 7:Making, Agency, Action, Artifice Podcast

Vol 8:Self and Other:Proprioception and Exteroception Podcast
Vol 9:Consciousness and Emotion Podcast
Vol 10:Touch, Flesh, and Vision Podcast
Vol 11:Emotion, Depth, and Flesh—Part I: Dancing as Pure Depth Podcast

Vol 12:Metaphor, Gesture, Language Podcast

Vol 13:Thought and Cognition Podcast
Vol 14:The Backside of God Podcast

I taught this course again in the Spring of 2011 and extensively revised the lectures and changed some of them completely.  Since Spring 2009 I have come to understand that “movement” is the central concern in this inquiry and developing perspective.  Thus the title should be something more like “Movement: The Ground for the Brain/Body” although this isn’t quite right.  I’ll not be making podcasts of these lectures, but I do offer them here as PDFs.
