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.
