Ways of Knowing Poster

With Descartes, the European tradition gave primacy to cognition as the primary way of knowing, but indigenous and ancestral cultures the world over have always prioritized more embodied and relational ways of knowing. Developed in partnership with a number of our advisors in cultural linguistics and indigenous lifeways, the Ways of Knowing poster explores non-cognitive ways of knowing across cultures by defining 11 ways of knowing that are not based in thinking. Includes: interoception, the felt sense, kishkes (yiddish), sintonizar (portuguese), comover (italian), tracking, nunchi (korean), la faculdad (spanish), street smarts, and others.
