Embodied academic

What does it mean to be an embodied academic?  What implications are there for research, teaching and practice?

It’s probably best to start with what I mean by embodied, as there are many different understandings of the term.  For me, embodiment is a state of being (we are all fleshy, breathing, moving bodies) and also a process.  The process of embodiment is to do with self-awareness of our corporeal selves, our proprioceptive sense of where we are in space in relation to the ground and others, our thoughts, our emotions, our projections, and our feelings.
