Folks,
I'm one of the founders and organizers of The CUNY Contemplatives Network, an informal cohort of CUNY faculty who are interested in the use of contemplative practices (like meditation) in general, but also in education. Every Autumn... we put together The CUNY Mindfulness Lecture Series, monthly series of talks offered by prominent individuals - scientists, researchers, monks, dharma teachers, etc. - who may contribute to our understanding of the nature, methods, applications, and benefits of mindfulness meditation. This Fall two events have already passed, and two are coming soon.
These events are very informal. There is often a Q&A approach integrated into the talk itself, if not also afterwards, and often an actual meditation technique as well.
Here's the information on the next one, plus I'm attaching a link to the file on the entire series, which has further information: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x260oj5dr20etek/CUNY.Mindful.8.7.2013.pdf.
You need not be a member of CUNY to attend. All events are free and open to the general public, on the first Thursdays of each Autumn month, at the CUNY Graduate Center (34th Street and 5th Avenue), 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., room 4102.

"Mindful Regulation of Neurophysiology and Emotion"
Tracy Dennis, Ph. D.
Dr. Dennis is a Professor in the Psychology Department at Hunter College, The City University of New York. Trained in clinical psychology from a developmental psychopathology perspective, she is interested in the development of emotion regulation, the use of cognitive bias modification for mood and anxiety disorders, and the development of mobile, "gamified" interventions for mental health. Her research examines the role of emotion in psychological well-being and distress by integrating measurement of brain, behavior, and environment. She is currently the lead scientist on a project examining the emotional and behavioral impact of a school-based mindfulness program for at-risk teens that integrates use of pedagogy and film making.
I hope to see you there!
