Say That Again
The article explores how audiences, critics, and disabled dancers interpret disability in dance, why some of these interpretations have come about, and their effect on the field and on disabled artists. It looks at some of the history of disability in dance from the Judson Church Movement to the rise of physically integrated dance, then turns to the personal history of a dancer and choreographer, and concludes with the work of Kinetic Light, a di…
Are the Arts Essential?
A timely and kaleidoscopic reflection on the importance of the arts in our society In the midst of a devastating pandemic, as theaters, art galleries and museums, dance stages and concert halls shuttered their doors indefinitely and institutional funding for entertainment and culture evaporated almost overnight, a cohort of highly acclaimed scholars, artists, cultural critics, and a journalist sat down to ponder an urgent question: Are the arts e…
Inclinations
Inclinations is an audio-described, 7-minute, site-specific, disability dance on film followed by a video discussion between three of the disabled artist-researchers. Throughout this project, we embraced a research-creation methodology to engage with the research question: How can we fully embed intersectional disability justice, not only as a theoretical lens, but also, as a methodological imperative? This work centres the concepts of disability…

Suffrage Art and Feminism
Suffrage graphics constitute one of the first collective, ideological, artistic expressions by American women. Premised on the popular view of woman's nature as virtuous, responsible, and nurturant, this art nonetheless challenged traditional practices and demanded political change. Interrelationships between feminism, art, and the historical context are explored in this analysis of women's imagery
Homonoia in the Greek Cities of the Roman Empire
From Kate Sanborn to Feminist Psychology
While current feminists are calling for a theoretical psychology of women, the present paper suggests that its foundation can be found in the writings of certain nineteenth-century women. Their conclusions, drawn from a different era and assuming contrasting social science paradigms, parallel and anticipate modern discoveries. This paper examines the work of Kate Sanborn (1839–1917), who edited an anthology of women's humor and crusaded for 20 ye…
There Were Ladies Present
Effect of Mode of Representation on Visual Humor
24 photographs representing four types of humor (aggression, superiority, incongruity, and the unexpected) were redrawn as cartoons and rated by 361 college students. Photographs were judged more humorous than cartoons, with additional effects related to type of humor and sex. The belief that an event really occurred, as found in photographs, may be important for effective visual humor
