Moving Beyond Binaries in Learning, Loving, and Living - A Conversation with Andrea Hiott

In this episode of the Future Learning Design Podcast, Tim Logan interviews Andrea Hiott about 4E cognitive science (embodied, embedded, extended, and enactive cognition) and its implications for education. They discuss how traditional education often focuses on memory and recall, neglecting the broader context of embodied experience and relational learning. Andrea and Tim explore the historical reasons for this emphasis, the potential of AI to challenge it, and the importance of creating safe spaces for exploring new approaches to education that value intersubjectivity, process, and the unique contributions of each individual. They also touch on the disorientation that can arise from embracing constant flux and the need to balance boundaries with relationality.
