Embodied Learning in Taekwondo Women A The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School MORE THAN A BLACK BELT: EMBODIED LEARNING IN TAEKWONDO WOMEN A Dissertation in Adult Education by Valerie Ann Cholet © 2020 Valerie Ann Cholet Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education December 2020 ii The dissertation of Valerie Cholet was reviewed and approved by the following: Elizabeth J. Tisdell Professor of Lifelong Learning and Adult Education, School of Behavioral Sciences and Education Professor-in-Charge, Doctor of Education in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Robin Redmon Wright Associate Professor of Lifelong Learning and Adult Education Karin Sprow Forté, Assistant Teaching Professor of Teacher Education and Adult Education, Glen A. Mazis Distinguished Professor of Humanities and Philosophy, Humanities... iii ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine how women make meaning of the embodied learning experience of earning a Black Belt in Taekwondo. The study is grounded in two-intersecting theoretical frameworks: embodied learning (in light of Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of the body); and critical feminist theory, highlighting the participants’ experiences as women participating in the martial arts sport of Taekwondo. Like the six participants in the study, the researcher also has earned a black belt in Taekwondo. Hence the design of the study combined an autoethnographic approach, integrating the researcher’s experience earning a black belt in conjunction with narrative inquiry to examine the six participants’ stories. Data collection for narrative analysis was collected through semi-structured individual interviews, focus groups, a video elicitation exercise, and researcher field notes. Additionally, participants were encouraged to share personal artifacts in the form of symbols representing their Black Belt journey including an essay written just prior to testing for their black belt. Participant stories were written from these data. In addition a modified constant comparative analysis of data analysis across participants’ stories revealed three themes of findings: a shift in an embodied identity that translated to a new way of being in the world; greater consciousness of embodied learning through reflection and the significance of accessing embodied learning through physical activity; and the sense of feeling powerful as a woman. The study concludes with a discussion of the findings as they relate to the research questions, utilizing embodied learning theory and a critical feminist analysis. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES

  • Miracles Masters &Mirth Adventures in Spirituality and Self-Awarenes
    Miracles Masters &Mirth Adventures in Spirituality and Self-Awarenes by Therese Emmanuel Grey Dedication To my husband Brian, for being willing to wrestle with my lesser self and for teaching me how to love. Gnosis The direct experiential knowledge of the supernatural or divine. This is not enlightenment understood in its general sense of insight or learning but enlightenment that validates the existence of the supernatural. He Leadeth Me He leadeth me, O blessed thought! O words with heav'nly comfort fraught! Whate'er I do, where'er I be Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me; His faithful follower I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me. Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, By waters still, over troubled sea, Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. Lord, I would place my hand in Thine, Nor ever murmur nor repine; Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. And when my task on earth is done, When by Thy grace the vict'ry's won, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me. Joseph H. Gilmore, 1862 28-year-old Baptist minister Gather us in Gather us in, thou Love that fillest all Gather our rival faiths within thy fold Rend every temple-veil, and bid it fall, That we may know that thou hast been of old. Gather us in, we worship only thee. In varied names we stretch a common hand.

    Sick as My Secrets “We had it all, this love so strong. Now everything we had is gone. If you could read my mind, you’d know I’ve crossed that line…” Prologue The house was dark inside, except for the bright flashes from a TV that had been left on. I called his name, but the only other voice I heard was Ryan Seacrest’s, coming from the Times Square broadcast on TV. My heart pounded as I followed the sound into the living room, worried about what I was going to find there. In the eerie, flickering light, I saw him lying on the couch. One hand was hanging limply over the side. His eyes were closed, his mouth half open. In that instant, I knew he had to be dead. As I came closer to the couch, my eyes swept over the scene, taking in the two pill containers sitting on the coffee table, along with an open bottle of tequila. All the breath rushed out of me as I sank to my knees at his side, looking down at his body in dismay. “Oh god…” I whispered. “Why would you do this to yourself?” But that was a stupid question to ask. I already knew the answer. Of course I knew why, and in that moment, I realized it was as much my fault as it was his. *** Chapter 1 Howie You know that game Jenga? The one where you build a tower out of wooden blocks and try not to be the one who makes it fall? The guys and I used to play it on the tour bus, back in the days when we still shared the same bus.
