In 2011, Molly Beauregard, a sociology professor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, offered a
groundbreaking new course: “Consciousness, Creativity and Identity.” Rooted in the academic literature of identity studies, Beauregard’s class was unique in offering students the chance to experience meditation first-hand. Alongside a traditional and rigorous syllabus, her course also integrated silence and reflection, providing students not only with an introduction to the discipline, but an opportunity to learn for the sake of self-discovery. The results were transformative.
On June 1, 2020 Molly Beauregard’s new book based on her years of teaching, ‘Tuning the Student Mind,’ is available for sale from SUNY Press. Order your copy today and learn more about this transformative course.
