Dismantling White Body Supremacy in Dance Education

Created 09 Jul 2021| Updated 04 Aug 2021 | 8 articles

Across dance education settings, long-standing assumptions and practices embedded within teaching methods and curricula in relation to racial equity are being questioned. This collection of previously published articles brings together authors working in a range of dance education contexts to dismantle White body supremacy in dance education. The articles focus on decolonization, anti-racism, and equity in dance education. New articles will be added as they are available. For additional articles about this topic, please see our 2020 Special Issue edited by Dr. Wendy Oliver, Race and Dance Education.
