Serendipity, Synchronicity: How do they teach?
7pm start on the main floor
FREE TO ALL

Barbara Lorraine Laing is a PhD student and instructor currently living in Kingston, Ontario. She is currently a Graduate Teaching Fellow at Queen’s University’s Faculty of Education studying spirituality in transformative adult education; how ‘serendipity’ teaches on the life path. Previously longlisted for the CBC Poetry prize, her creative work appears in Grain, Room, The Antigonish Review, and The New Quarterly.

In this talk, Serendipity, Synchronicity & Other Surprises: How Do They Teach?, Barbara will discuss contemporary scholarly research on themes such as surprise and cognition, embodied spirituality, and ‘wide-awakeness’, encouraging us to think about how moments of surprise can lead to meaningful (and often life-changing) learning experiences.
