Dialogue as an Expression of Reciprocal Embeddedness

Hosted by the Transformative Studies Ph.D. program

A theory proposed by Daniel Deslauriers, Reciprocal Embeddedness is core to our relational identity. 

• How can we benefit from sensing and feeling our interrelatedness? 
• Can we more deeply re/connect with it? 
• What happens when we explore Reciprocal Embeddedness in community? 

Alana’s doctoral research discloses Dialogue as an essential praxis that enacts, expresses and extends Reciprocal Embeddedness.
