Jeremy at the ruins of Nalanda University, the oldest university in the world, in Rajgir, India.
Namaste!
I am the Liberal Arts Endowed Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences at Penn State University, the author of six books, including the forthcoming On Mindful Democracy, and a mindfulness and yoga teacher living in State College, Pennsylvania.
Whether we meet in the classroom, in a lecture hall, on a meditation cushion, or on a yoga mat, my overarching goal is the same: I want to teach you the skills to be a capable, compassionate, engaged democratic citizen, including how to pay attention, how to deliberate and to be deliberate, how to listen, how to work together, how to spot misinformation and propaganda, how to practice compassion, and how to embody and promote peace.
