Dance Education and Pedagogies in Contemporary Contexts – book launch

This is the online book launch of the newly published, open access edited peer-reviewed book Dance Education and Pedagogies in Contemporary Contexts. All 23 authors, affiliated with Sweden, Uganda, Norway, the United States, Brazil, Finland, Iran, South Africa, Jamaica, and New Zealand, are invited to the launch. The editors and Stockholm University Press will pay tribute to the book, and a book launch film will shortly flip through all 14 chapters. The book is organized into four thematic sections: Decolonial and Norm-Critical Perspectives on Dance Education; Tertiary Dance Education Transformations; Space-Making for Indigeneity in Dance Education; Critical and Creative Dance Pedagogical Practices. The result is a multi-contextual, multi-sited collection that embodies the value of celebrating difference. The book amplifies voices and practices from diverse cultures, geographies, identities, and bodies, contributing to a richer and more inclusive vision of dance education and pedagogy.
