I have wanted to dance my PhD ever since I heard about the Dance Your PhD contest as an undergraduate student. Luckily, I found an amazing collaborator in the dance department at CU and together we are working on a proposal to NEST for summer funding to research, collaborate, and create a public-facing exhibition. During my experience of Queer Studies at the University of Wyoming, I fell in love with writer and disability activist, Eli Clare, who connects environmental science and disability studies. My dance collaborator has interest in the connections between disability and dance. So together, we are dreaming up a project that weaves disability studies with landscape degradation and restoration science. We are taking an embodied research approach, and plan to learn together through traditional scholarly study as well as through movement.
More to come about this project in the months ahead!
