Pil Hansen Interdisciplinary Research StrategiesWorking Across Artistic Research and Dance Scholarship, Dance Psychology, or Dance Science

Hansen offers a doctorate-level introduction to a series of challenges and benefits involved in interdisciplinary dance research that is (co-)led by an artistic researcher. Strategic approaches are shared, the importance of methodological communication and choice-making is discussed, and the relationship between such choices and the impact of the knowledge produced is emphasized with reference to examples from the author’s research praxis. More specifically, the contribution addresses the following subjects: interdisciplinary collaboration and communication; negotiation across knowledge paradigms and criteria of validity; differences between multidisciplinary stratification and interdisciplinary transfer and integration; documentation and data sharing strategies; resource-effective inquiry across multiple projects; and enhancement of reach and impact through multidisciplinary articulation.
