Discovering the Unseen…
Our minds and bodies, extending into social spheres, serve as canvases onto which our experiences unfold, all at once reflecting personally and collectively.
Polymathic and Transdisciplinary Research
HEAL converges the cognitive, affective, physiological, and social dimensions of language as the basis for transdisciplinary and polymathic research.
Polymathy refers to individuals who study and discover using knowledge and methodologies from multiple disciplines and integrate them to address complex problems. This allows researchers to draw on diverse perspectives and tools, fostering innovative solutions that might not emerge within the confines of a single discipline.
Polymathic research is what we need to tackle complex global challenges like public health where insights from different fields can provide a more comprehensive understanding and effective solutions.
Transdisciplinarity is a research approach that crosses the boundaries of and unifies various disciplines to have a holistic understanding of a problem. Instead of just combining insights from different fields (like interdisciplinary research), it integrates and synthesizes knowledge from multiple areas to innovate solutions that can’t be found through a single lens.
Think of it like a potluck of brilliance where everyone brings their best dish, but then they all mix their ingredients to create something entirely new.
Affirming Methodologies
Incorporating the Affirming Methodologies framework (C. Nakhid et al.), centers unheard voices, affirming indigenous ways of acquiring knowledge in a holistic and grounded understanding of language. Affirming Methodologies emphasize respect, relationality, and interconnectedness, showing us that language is not just a tool for individual expression but a means of nurturing community ties and sustaining cultural wisdom.

Carlo G. Monsanto
Scholar/Mentor
I have contributed to the design of HEAL, Human Experience Augmenting Language, and the development of the HEAL ecosystem for nearly twenty-five years. I aim to help heal humanity's wounds by stimulating global dialogue and equipping communities with essential knowledge for transformation and growth through the transformative use of language. My knowledge and skills can advance these conversations and developments within and outside the educational realm.
