  • Resumen

  • To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom, says Socrates. Self-awareness and self-management appear as central components of most SEL programs, and self-improvement, self-help, and self-care are buzzwords in our daily lives. We devote this episode to contemplating what exactly is the self? What kind of “self” does SEL seek to develop, and what understandings of self might be left behind? What can we learn from examining how self is understood across cultures and contexts, from more individualistic to more collectivist ways of being? We welcome a new member of our group, Adishi Gupta, whose research is all about the “selves” that are celebrated and shrouded in educational curriculum.
