Hi Adrian
Yes sounds very interesting. Perhaps we could do it by way of an
interdisciplinary use of embodiment ideas. For example my area is
embodiment in psychotherapy which links in to Lakoff and Johnson's work on
metaphor. Would be very happy to do a presentation on my research if this
was of interest.
Best wishes
Bob
