Engaged Scholarship: Taking Activism and Social Justice Seriously in Our Work
May 29 2008 at 1:00 PM
Bernath Auditorium
Wayne State's Summer Doctoral Seminar presents "Engaged Scholarship: Taking Activism and Social Justice Seriously in Our Work," a public lecture and open discussion, May 29, 1:00 PM, Bernath Auditorium, WSU Undergraduate Library. Each summer Wayne State's Department of Communication hosts a seminar for doctoral students from around the country and abroad, focusing on the work of a guest scholar. This year we are pleased to be joined by Dr. Larry Frey from the University of Colorado at Boulder. The focus of the week-long seminar is Engaged Communication Scholarship. We have selected an impressive group of about a dozen doctoral students for participation and they bring a wide-ranging set of interests in combining activism and scholarly research.

The Maggie Allesee Department of Dance is one of the oldest and most respected dance departments in the US. Our BFA and BS programs have a dual focus: contemporary modern dance and neo-classical ballet, as well as an integrated dance technology curriculum. State of the art studios and facilities are located in the center of the city’s Cultural District in midtown Detroit. Fifteen diverse dance faculty are nationally known for their work in technique, choreography, Pilates, and dance technology.

Our comprehensive curriculum focuses on quality pre-professional training and dance education. Our nationally accredited program currently maintains an enrollment of 60 dance majors, a third of whom are consistently named to the Dean’s List and continue to distinguish themselves as Presidential Scholars, Wayne Scholars, and McNair Scholar Program recipients. The department enjoys important long-term partnerships with the Detroit Opera House and the American Ballet Theatre.
