    577 – Enskilled Knowledge & Education of Attention, Carl Woods

    Carl Woods from the University of Queensland and I discuss the concept of "enskilled knowledge" and the critical difference between educating attention (showing someone where to look) and the knowledge that comes from doing a thing in a place. Carl gives a ton of wonderful examples from wine tasting and surfing to handing down family recipes and navigating boats across an open ocean!
