Michelle L. Tichy, Ph.D. She earned her doctorate in Educational Psychology with an emphasis on Social and Developmental Psychology from the University of Minnesota. Michelle has been a Teacher Educator and a college Professor since 2006. Michelle has been tutoring for over twenty years in a wide range of subjects from elementary school through graduate school, plus test preparation, and educational coaching. Michelle works with and trains teachers to better support neurodiverse students including students with anxiety and ADHD. Her heart centered commitment is to create access to holistic and authentic educational opportunities for all students. As a social and developmental psychologist she is fascinated by how people grow and thrive from prenatal development through life. Her work integrates various contemplative practices and social/ecological justice, her work spans organizations from private high schools, small not for profit preschools, grassroots political organizations, parochial schools, Head Start, grassroots charter school systems, and traditional public schools. An overarching theme of her work as a scholar, teacher, and a leader, is how and why organizational systems are operating the way they are and what can be done to transform them in order to create systems that better serve the holistic needs of students, teachers, and communities using contemplative practices and heart centered social/ecological justice efforts.

Associate Professor Narelle Lemon (DEd MEd BMus BTeach DipMan MAPP) is located at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia in the Department of Education. She is trained in the disciplines of arts, education and positive psychology. Narelle's overarching research area is focused on participation and engagement. She explores this through a variety of avenues including social media use for learning and professional development, creativity and arts education, and positive psychology specifically aimed at mindful practice and productive self-care strategies. She engages with creative pedagogies, visual narrative and narrative inquiry to investigate lived experiences. Narelle is interested in the lived experience of being an academic - care, collaboration, mindful and supportive practices. This has been explored through online identity with social media and the project called Academics Who Tweet, and through hearing the stories such as those of early career researchers (Lemon &amp; Garvis, 2014), and the 2018 co-edited book with Springer that explores the way that academics understand, embrace and enact the concepts of mindfulness in approaching their work in demanding and dynamic environments (Lemon &amp; McDonough, 2018). More recently Narelle has co-authored the books Building and Sustaining a Teaching Career: Strategies for Professional Experience, Wellbeing and Mindful Practice (Lemon &amp; McDonough, 2020 with Cambridge University Press); Reframing and Rethinking Collaboration in Higher Education and Beyond: A Practical Guide for Doctoral Students and Early Career Researchers (Lemon &amp; Salmon, 2020 as part of the Insider Guides to Success in Academia Series with Routledge); and Creative Research Methods in Education: Principles and Practices (Kara, Lemon, McPherson &amp; Manny, 2021 with Policy Press). Narelle is the series editor of a new Routledge series on Wellbeing and Self-care in Higher Education.
