What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"In an age of incessant demands for standards and assessment, Curriculum as Meditative Inquiry offers a hopeful vision for education that is transnational and transformational, imaginative and insightful, poetic and philosophical. Ashwani Kumar offers us a rare gift of dynamic wisdom that we urgently need in our contemporary and cosmopolitan world." - Carl Leggo, poet and Professor, University of British Columbia, Canada

"In schools, as in most of contemporary North American society, 'slow' has become a four-letter word and space for deep thought almost non-existent. Curriculum as Meditative Inquiry challenges educators, administrators, and parents to re-imagine education as a process and system based on the cultivation of heightened awareness and deep inner thought. Our future might very well depend on attention to this book." - Ardra L. Cole, Associate Vice-President, Academic and Research, Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada
