Abstract
In this online interactive workshop, Professor Marco Garrido will share how his mindfulness practice has positively influenced his professional development while maintaining well-being and work-life balance. Contrary to the common perception that career success may sometimes appear at odds with personal well-being and family life, he will show how they can be reconciled through mindful awareness and skillful actions. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to engage in mindfulness exercises guided by Professor Garrido and gain practical experience in applying these principles to their daily routines. This hands-on approach aims to empower participants to discover practical ways to cultivate a deeper and more purposeful connection between their professional endeavors and personal lives.
Speaker Bio
Marco Garrido is an Associate Professor and the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Sociology at the University of Chicago. His work has primarily focused on examining the relationship between the urban poor and the middle class in Manila, specifically within the context of slums and upper- and middle-class enclaves. His research project aims to establish a connection between this relationship and urban structure on one hand and political dissensus on the other. Through this, he highlights the significant role of class in shaping urban space, social life, and politics.
