Welcome to the Sched portal for Moving Forward: The 2020 American Dance Platform Symposium hosted by The Joyce Theater and NYU Tisch.
Start 2020 as part of an inaugural symposium designed for dance professionals in higher education. Moving Forward: The 2020 American Dance Platform Symposium presented by The Joyce Theater, and hosted by NYU Tisch and NYU Steinhardt, offers the opportunity for faculty and graduate students in dance education and performance to engage in discourse on the following topics:
Defining and Advancing Diversity in Higher EducationDance Programs
This presentation is in the form of a town hall meeting and is designed to both address and understand some of the concerns of faculty of color in dance, particularly those in higher education navigating the tenure process. The goal is to develop strategies that provide healing and support for those negotiating the oppressive, and at times traumatizing systems of academe, and to build supportive communities for faculty of color, by faculty of color and their white counterparts. We will confront practices that have excluded underrepresented faculty members and behaviors that have been discriminatory towards marginalized communities within academic institution.
