Provincializing Dance Studies (2020-2024)a five year initiative of the Dance Studies Association, curated by Susan Leigh Foster "Provincializing Dance Studies” works to provoke reflection and discussion around the relationship of locality to the various epistemological frameworks being deployed to study dance. A focus on these histories works to undo the US-centric methods and approaches that lay at the foundation of Society of Dance History Scholars and the Congress on Research in Dance, DSA’s predecessors. It also serves to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of methodological approaches that the field has developed.
