The Body as a Knowledge Incubator®
The Body as a Knowledge Incubator® can be defined as a perpetual encoding of motility. A physical literacy that is constantly evolving and responding to a lived experience in the milieu of everyday life, as a person’s lifeworld is constantly interacting and creating. We are forever wandering and wondering through and with the world. This intersection of interacting and creating is crucial to understanding a lived experience. An example of this can be found in the first part of our series DILUTING TIME: The Body as a Knowledge Incubator™ Series which chronicles the lived experience of researchers and their journies.
The Body as a Knowledge Incubator® was a term coined by E.S.Meloche (Founder of Boost Innovations) and Karamjeet K Dhillon (Director of Boost Innovations).
