JoDE - Two Special Issues: Call for Papers
Asian and South Asian Dance in
US Postsecondary Dance Education
Submission Deadline: September 15, 2021

The Journal of Dance Education invites manuscript submissions which discuss the pedagogies of Asian and South Asian dance in postsecondary education in the United States for possible publication. Accepted articles will be published in JoDE and may become part of a specialized collection focused on Asian and South Asian dance in US postsecondary education.
Over the last few years, deep political, social, and racial fissures have surfaced in the US that necessitate a need to discuss the role that dance and its associated discourses play in academia. As more and more Asian and South Asian dance forms, dancers, and students populate the dance studios of US academia, it is time that dance education confront the racist, sexist, ableist, and colonial modes that are embedded in the way that this transition often takes place, especially as instances of racial violence are on the rise. The cost of inclusion should not be an erasure where much of the plurality, difference, and fluidity of content and pedagogy­–aspects that make these forms valuable to dance education–are lost. It is important then that the dance education community consider what this inclusion implies and generate scholarship to think through the shifts engendered by this diversity of movement pedagogy in the understanding of dance education and its outcomes.

Dance Education for Children and Youth: Our Future as a Field
Submission Deadline: November 1, 2021

Children (infant-adolescent) and youth (adolescent-18 years) are the future of dance education. If we look to the teaching and learning of dance for children and youth in PK-12 schools, private studios, dance organizations, and communities, we can gain insight into future dance education trajectories, such as what the needs for higher education might be and possible directions for professional dance. While this Special Issue is not specifically about the global COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on dance education, the pandemic has undoubtedly shaped research, scholarship, teaching, and learning in dance education, and therefore, manuscripts that reference the pandemic are welcome.
