Charles Scott

Charles Scott serves as Associate Professor in the Albright School of Education at City University and Adjunct Professor of Education at Simon Fraser University. Holding a Ph.D. in Arts Education, his doctoral research centered on Martin Buber's dialogical philosophy and its educational applications. He specializes in integrating contemplative practices across physical, aesthetic, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions of learning.

His educational background features a Ph.D. in Arts Education with research focused on dialogical philosophy in educational contexts. This foundation informs his commitment to holistic educational approaches that address the whole person within their situatedness.

Dr. Scott's research fundamentally explores subjectivities (inner experience) and intersubjectivities (shared inner experiences), driving his investigation of contemplative inquiry methods. He examines meditative approaches that integrate somatic, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions, with recent work focusing on the sacred, stillness phenomenology, and contemplative applications in diverse educational settings. His scholarship consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with practical pedagogical implementations.

Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals concentrated exploration of contemplative education across multiple contexts. Key trends include adapting contemplative practices for online environments, examining stillness in yoga-based pedagogy, and applying transformative learning theories to international student leadership. Collaborative work with scholars like Heesoon Bai and Rolando Cueto de Souza demonstrates strong interdisciplinary networks focused on integrating spirituality with educational methodology.
