均衡的介绍
The past few decades have seen the emergence of the "Mindfulness Revolution" in mainstream American popular culture. Hospitals, prisons, daycare centers, college campuses ... mindfulness meditation is seemingly everywhere these days. 事实上, since the inception of Buddhism nearly 2500 years ago, Buddhists have understood various facets of their tradition to be sources of health and healing. But how established are the links between meditation and physical health? Dr. 萨尔盖罗将对历史进行概述, 当代实践, and academic study of mindfulness meditation practice. He will situate the contemporary focus on the health benefits of meditation within the global history of Buddhism and medicine, and will outline the many rich and complex Buddhist approaches to healing that have been (and still are) used globally, and will suggest directions for further historical and clinical research beyond meditation.

Political Activism, African American Women, and Religion
在历史和叙事作品中, the sociopolitical activism of African American women has often been linked to religiosity as a resource providing both inspiration and organizational skills. Very little empirical evidence exists, however, to corroborate these finds. Utilizing recent survey data collected from African American women residing in the Philadelphia area, this program examines the ways in which various dimensions of religiosity intersect with their communal and political activities. Presentations can be modified to cover such issues as (1) the “spillover effect” theory (i.e. the popular assumption that Black women acquire certain church-based skills that are subsequently transferred to the political arena; (2) differences and similarities in traditional Black vs. White denominations relative to Black women’s political activism of the Black church and its influence of African American women’s political behavior.

什么是STEAM? It's what you get when you stir ART back into the STEM disciplines...and if you want to know what that's like, look no further than Plato, Leonardo da Vinci, William J.J. 戈登和保罗·格雷厄姆. 把艺术和技术混搭起来并不是什么新想法, but an idea once abandoned by curriculum designers is now being revived. explore the current state of STEAM and how this contemporary movement can be engaged.

Using Lessons from the Past to Understand a Post-9/11 World
Rebuilding lives and restructuring our senses of meaning have been major concerns for many Americans since the September 11 attacks on our country. In an attempt to understand the ways in which survivors of previous horrific experiences have restructured their shattered lives and sensibilities, the Transcending Trauma Project at the Council for Relationships has been conducting interviews with more than three hundred Holocaust survivors, 他们的配偶, 孩子们, and grand孩子们 to try to understand the methods by which individuals cope, 适应, and recreate their lives after experiencing traumatic events. The lessons learned can be both useful and inspiring as we face the on-going turbulence in contemporary society.
