Rooting education in experience, identity, and perception.

Rooted in phenomenology and experiential learning, we design and study environments where learning grows from place, presence, and relationship. We research experiences that shape a student’s nexus of meaning - identity, purpose, and belonging - not just their skills and knowledge. Whether through field experiences, compelling narratives, or immersive media, we explore how educators can guide learners across psychological distances, cultivating engagement, empathy, and deeper understandings of their relationship with the world in which they experience.
