Overview
Undergraduate Research in Dance: A Guide for Students supplies tools for
scaffolding research skills alongside examples of undergraduate
research in dance scholarship. Dance can be studied as an expressive
embodied art form with physical, cognitive, and affective domains, and
as an integral part of society, history, and vast areas of
interdisciplinary content. To this end, the guidance provided by this
book will equip future dance professionals with the means to move the
field of dance forward.
Chapters 1-9 guide students through the
fundamentals of research methods, providing a foundation to help
students get started in understanding research protocols and processes.
Students will learn skills such as how to choose a research topic,
refine research questions, conduct literature reviews, cite sources,
synthesize and analyze data, develop conclusions and results, and
present their findings. Chapters 10-19 detail forms of undergraduate
research in a rich diversity of fields within dance that are taught in
many collegiate dance programs including dance therapy, history,
science, psychology, education, and technology, in addition to public
scholarship, choreography, and interdisciplinary topics.
The
book also includes a final chapter which provides annotated online
resources, and many of its chapters are supported by examples of
abstracts of capstone projects, senior theses, and conference
presentations by undergraduate researchers across the United States.
Suitable for both professors and students, Undergraduate Research in
Dance is an ideal reference book for any course that has a significant
opportunity for the creation of new knowledge, or as an essential
interdisciplinary connection between dance and other disciplines.
