• A reply on Talk: Juan Enriquez: Will our kids be a different species?

  Jun 9 2012: Are you moving too fast? You didn't hear the tone of voice.
  And are you convinced that the clearly, logically and thoroughly explained is all that's worth listening to?

• A reply on Conversation: Why should listening be taught as a skill in school?

  Aug 4 2011: Katie: You might like to look at a book called "From Cognition to Being: Prolegomena for Teachers" (Univ of Ottawa Press, 1999). It deepens the philosophical basis for the ideas in Julian's talk as they apply to teaching and learning, and adds a few of the exercises I've used in high school classes to resensitize listening. (If the early chapters are hard going, skip to chapter 7.) I'm eager to engage with teachers who want to renew the ground we stand on with students.

• A comment on Conversation: How are we going to get Conscious Listening into schools?

  Aug 4 2011: I'd like to contribute a book called "From Cognition to Being: Prolegomena for Teachers" (Univ of Ottawa Press, 1999). It deepens the ideas in this talk as they apply to teaching and learning, and adds a few of the exercises I've used in high school classes to resensitize listening. I'm eager to engage with teachers who want to renew the ground we stand on with students. As Julian says, listening is about more than receiving; it is being together.
