Annotation

Professor Magee describes research on how mindfulness has been shown to help increase our emotional resilience; address fears, anxieties, and other emotions; choose how we will respond to injustice; and change unhelpful habits. She also discusses an exciting new area of study: focusing on external mindfulness and its effects as individuals interact with others, their environments, and the array of challenges facing us all.

Learning Objectives

• Understand social identity-based bias.

• Learn multiple levels of response to the call for equity and justice.

• Discuss the connection between mindfulness meditation and individual psychological focus and how personal stress management plays a role.
