Abstract

This chapter reviews a pedagogy scaffolding undergraduates ' contemplative reading of scholarly economics texts. Structuring contemplative reading through Lectio Divina and Bohmian Dialogue transforms learning spaces into sacred spaces inviting student investment in their spiritual as well as cognitive and intellectual capital. Educators should cultivate spaces for students to integrate the self with their studies to engage the postnormality of the 21st century's contextual environment.
