A new book from co-authored by DISE’s Boyd White and Amélie Lemieux, Mapping Holistic Learning: An Introductory Guide to Aesthetigrams, is now available from Peter Lang Publishing.

From Peter Lang’s website: “Mapping Holistic Learning: An Introductory Guide to Aesthetigrams introduces the concept of aesthetigrams. These are participant-produced visual maps of aesthetic engagement. The map-making strategy was originally developed by one of the authors, Boyd White, to assist him in understanding what his university-level students were experiencing as they interacted with artworks. Such interactions are, after all, private, individualistic, and fleeting. How can a teacher foster student/teacher dialogue that might lead to enhanced engagement, much less do research, without a concrete record of such engagement? Aesthetigrams provide that record.
