Dr. Gina Belton, Core faculty in the Mind Body Medicine Program and Specialization Coordinator for Contemplative End of Life Care at Saybrook University.

Gina Subia Belton, Ph.D., is core faculty in the Mind-Body Medicine Program and Coordinator for the Contemplative End of Life Care Specialization. She is a transdisciplinary educator who teaches in Transformative Social Change, Integrative Social Work, and Ph.D. Psychology programs. Raised in California by generations of Elders and Ancestors, long before "the border crossed them," her Chicanx and Mescalero Apache identity is alive in Mezistaje consciousness, grounding her ethnothanatological research and decolonial praxis. Dr. Belton is the inaugural Chair of the President's JEDI Council at Saybrook University.

Gina Belton's teaching-learning philosophy is rooted in contemplative pedagogies and decolonial praxis, inviting students to turn toward deep learning through focused attention, reflection, and awareness practices, in learning as liberation. This teaching-learning experience is cultivated eco-psychologically to engage a student's coursework, research, and dissertation journey in such a way, that contemplation of feelings and insights, invites the connection of content with their learning and lived experience. Barbezat and Bush observed that "as students find more of themselves in their courses, they will make meaningful and lasting connections" to their scholarship and thus their lives and the lives of others. Gina is a sought-after dissertation committee member for her collaborative and compassionate support as well as her embodiment as a critical Indigenous researcher and her subject matter expertise in decolonial praxis, decolonizing approaches to research, thanatology, ethnogeriatrics, and qualitative research methodologies, which include Indigenous and critical methodologies, narrative inquiry, autoethnography, phenomenology, and community-based participatory action.
