Elizabeth was a section editor abnd contrubutibg author to this book, which was edited by Doug Risner and Karen Schupp.
The first of its kind, this volume presents research-based fictionalized case studies from experts in the field of dance education, examining theory and practice developed from real-world scenarios that call for ethical decision-making. Dilemmas faced by dance educators in the studio, on stage, in recreation centers and correctional facilities, and on social media are explored, accompanied by activities for humanizing dance pedagogy. These challenges converge from educational policies and mandates developed over the past two decades, including teacher-proof “scripted” curriculum, high-stakes testing, standardization, and methods-centered teacher preparation; difficulties are often perpetuated by those who want to make change happen but do not know how.
Recipient of the Ruth Lovell Murray and the Susan W. Stinson Book Awards in 2021.
Reviews
"Ethical Dilemmas in Dance Education: Case Studies on Humanizing Dance Pedagogy is a vital resource for teachers that spans various settings and contexts for dance education.... The authors stimulate discussion, encourage self-reflection, and ask teachers to meaningfully hone their personal pedagogy to more fully engage with students."
-- Christi Camper Moore in The Journal of Dance Education (2020)
"A noteworthy accomplishment and important text that promises to be of interest and significance to dance pedagogues, practitioners, teachers and scholars alike.... Section three, Dance Teacher Preparation and Postsecondary Dance Education, provokes thought and dialogue. McPherson, Dragon, Risner and Schupp collectively introduce this section, offering shared practice, expertise, research and applied experience to provide a vision that challenges assumption and incites discourse."
-- Wendy M. Timmons in Research in Dance Education (2021)
