Touching superdiversity: Migrants’ experiences of transcultural tactility in recreational dance
As a multi-sensorial recreational activity, dance provides a significant means of contributing to transcultural competence within super-diverse urban environments. Creative, physical interactions can involve subtle and yet deeply significant sensual encounters between strangers, and advance cultural democracy. Amongst dynamic and evolving population groups, the formation of new cultural understandings through such collaborative activity can enabl…
The Academical Dress of Finland: A Contemporary (Re)Introduction
With its elegant tailcoat, doctoral hat and doctoral sword, the style and tradition of Finland’s doctoral dress offer a dramatic contrast to more commonly seen forms of academical dress around the world. While a few standard works have superficially touched on the topic, there is a perhaps explainable dearth of work on Finnish academical dress in either academic literature or wider writing in any language. However, digital media have begun to yie…
Adopting, rejecting and moderating the academic uniform: How Finland arrived at its current approach to academic dress
In 1640, Finland’s first university was inaugurated, and while it issued bachelor degrees, the degrees of master (1643 >) and doctor (1781) were conferred as people were ‘promoted’ to the academy. The Finnish War saw Finland ceded to Imperial Russia in 1809, and class-centric uniformed approaches were taken to the academic dress of students, the academy-at-large and professors with civil appointments. In 1840, Finland formalized an approach to ac…
The Māfana Framework: How Pacific students are using collaborative tasks to decolonize their learning
How are Pacific students redesigning their own learning environments, in response to the cultural distance between Western tertiary education and their needs as Indigenous people? This study explores how Pacific students are applying their cultural values within tertiary learning spaces in which teachers are absent, disrupting educational colonization and neoliberal idealism within the autonomous learning zone of collaborative tasks. Our talanoa …
Teaching collaborative dexterity in higher education: Threshold concepts for educators
This article draws on a multi-phase study of collaboration in tertiary education programmes. This commenced with a survey of 111 students in Engineering and Creative Arts, contrasting their experiences of the teaching of collaboration in different faculties. This led to an iterative action research cycle, in which the conceptual boundaries that surrounded teachers’ approaches to teaching collaboration were explored through qualitative interviews …
The battlefield of ballet schools: The commodification of dance education in China
The involvement of venture capitalism within dance education in China is rapidly increasing, leading to significant shifts in understandings and practices of dance education as a private business. This article, therefore, explores this nexus of dance and the economy, advancing discussions from the commercialisation of dance education to the commodification of dance education. Drawing on a qualitative, ethnographic study of private dance schools i…
Dancing from policy to pedagogy in China: Transgressions, surveillance and resistance from students, teachers and institutional leaders
This article investigates the challenges that tertiary educators face when seeking to implement education-policy reforms in China. Our qualitative study presents the narratives of tertiary dance educators from eight universities who have actively sought to shift their pedagogical practices as acts of transgression. Their stories reveal the ways that teachers experience pressure to perpetuate authoritarian teaching practices, from their students, …

The Shape of Water … Palestine, Badke and Let’s Make Noise for Gaza: Three Journeys of Intercultural Choreographic Practice in Palestine
Threshold concept theory and nonformal education: Community-based arts learning in Palestine
Arts learning forums can provide a crucial opportunity for communities undergoing massive social upheaval to gather, reimagine, and exchange ideas. By providing multimodal expressive environments in which to explore, process, create, and share, a community arts education programme might be considered central to the sustenance of community during periods of collective trauma. Arts education programmes similarly maintain a capacity to disassemble c…

Dance and Political Credibility: The Appropriation of Dabkeh by Zionism, Pan-Arabism, and Palestinian Nationalism Nicholas Rowe
This article examines how the rural folkdance dabkeh has, in the last century, been appropriated and reinvented as a tradition in order to construct the imagined communities of Zionism, pan-Arabism, and Palestinian Nationalism within Palestine/Israel. This appropriation has led to extensive debates and suppositions on the source, meanings, and cultural ownership of dabkeh. The following historical narratives, emerging from interviews with dance p…
Raising Dust: A Cultural History of Dance in Palestine
Dance in Palestine has a history as complex and contentious as the land itself. Whether dismissed as bacchantic madness by Bible tourists in the 19th Century, revived and glorified by Zionists, Pan-Arabists and Palestinian Nationalists in the 20th Century, or rejected by Islamic Reformists in the 21st Century, dance in Palestine has a rich and elusive story that remains to be told. 'Raising Dust' traces one dancer's journey into Palestine's past …
Post-Salvagism: Choreography and Its Discontents in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
While researching dance within the Occupied Palestinian Territories, comments made by the choreographers of local performance troupes resonated in my mind because they exemplify how foreign hegemony controls notions of modernity. The first was a lament: “But can't they understand that this is our contemporary dance?” It followed the rejection of the group's application to a European contemporary dance festival, on the basis that their dance produ…
Cuba: From "Dollarization" to "Euroization" or "Peso Reconsolidation
Since its "depenalization" in 1993, the U.S. dollar has become possibly a more significant component of Cuba's money supply than the old peso. What are the alternatives? The euro seems inappropriate, given the inevitability of eventual normalization of relations with the United States. More advantageous would be to restore the Cuban peso, though this would involve unifying the bifurcated economic structure and the dual monetary and exchange rate …
