anna in school "Embodied knowledge is inherently and unapologetically subjective [...] The researcher’s body—where it is positioned, what it looks like, what social groups or classifications it is perceived as belonging to—matters deeply in knowledge formation." Thus I want to write my thesis with an active "I" voice.

It can be used to get an embodied understanding of another persons (work) practices by enacting their actions in a real world setting or by enacting a characteristic challenge of an authentic en...vironment that one or more persons of a community direct. Heard of this before? Let me know! ^^
