Making meaning through experience, identity, and education.
The PEXE Lab is dedicated to exploring how educational experiences shape identity, purpose, and meaning.
Rooted in phenomenology and experiential learning theories, we design and study learning environments that go beyond skills and knowledge. We research experiences that construct the student’s nexus of meaning.
Whether through firsthand fieldwork, powerful narratives, or immersive media, we examine how educators can guide learners across psychological distances to foster engagement, empathy, and deeper understandings of the world.
