RESEARCH
DANCE PROFESSOR LANDS NEH GRANT – With support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, a UA dance professor will lead an effort to improve online access to dance resources for education and scholarship. Rebecca Salzer received a Digital Humanities Advancement grant. “I believe that our project can improve access to the digital dance resources we have and also pave the way for dance to more dynamically inhabit digital space,” Salzer said.
