ABSTRACT
Inner Tracking is a written reflective practice adapted from the four-part spiral of Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects. Inner Tracking invites students to express gratitude, honor pain, articulate new insights, and state intentions. Examples from humanities and history courses at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay suggest that Inner Tracking opens a space for reflection that can help students increase their awareness of their interconnectedness with human and natural communities, including their awareness of social injustices and ecological problems, and it offers them an opportunity to set an intention about how they relate to the world.
