Mindfulness

In this episode of The Learning Curve, host Dr Shannon Babbie sits down with Colette Savage, Programme Director for the MSc in Mindfulness at the University of Aberdeen School of Education, to explore the transformative power of Mindfulness. The conversation delves into how mindfulness serves as a vital tool for both students and teachers, moving beyond its reputation as a "buzzword" to become a practical foundation for emotional regulation, attention, and mental resilience. Savage discusses her current research into the "role of the body" in teaching and explains how the University’s unique, fully online MSc program balances academic evidence with experiential practice to support professionals across diverse global industries.
