Short description
Doctoral Thesis by Jennifer Angbah Tisell-
Full title: Intersectional Perspectives on Dance Education – A Study on Dance, Racism, Equality, and Transformative Possibilities
My doctoral research is a qualitative case study presented as a compilation thesis. One of the aims of the study is to contribute knowledge about how dance teachers address issues of racism, equality, and racism from an intersectional perspective in their dance teaching. I am a doctoral candidate at the Academy of Music and Drama and the Centre for Education Science and Teacher Research (CUL Graduate School).
My research field is Arts education, and my research interests include dance pedagogy, didactics, processes of change, and critical perspectives. The aim of my study is to contribute knowledge and insights into how dance teachers perceive, relate to, and work with issues and aspects of racism, equality and racism from an intersectional perspective in their dance teaching. The study also seeks to understand and highlight both limiting and enabling aspects and approaches within dance education in relation to these perspectives.
