Description
Summary:Beginning in 2008, American studies professor Sherrie Tucker and dance professor Michelle Heffner Hayes developed a series of concurrent course offerings across American Studies and Dance at the University of Kansas. In this collaboratively authored article, Tucker and Hayes reflect on the surprising ramifications of that first grafted class in 2008, and subsequent collaborations, in order to posit a model of improvisational pedagogy of grafting across disciplines that may invigorate research across disciplines in the liberal arts. Tucker and Hayes describe a praxis that motivates teaching and inspires research in a dynamic interactive relationship.
