DANC 4711 - Writing Dance and Gender
This Advanced Writing course engages with dance studies that examine dance in cultural, historical, and contemporary contexts in relation to questions of gender and sexuality. Through a variety of texts, students become conversant with terminology, concepts, and theories of gender studies, sexuality studies, and feminist dance history. The course places particular emphasis on the writing and revision process, as students write several short responses to texts and performances, provide peer feedback, and practice revising their writing. The course culminates in a research paper on a topic related to dance and gender.
