Professor Gili
Hammer, an anthropologist
at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, shares her research on
integrated dance--an art form that brings together disabled and
non-disabled dancers to challenge how disability is presented in the
arts and public culture. Celebrating multiculturalism, integrated dance defies
the societal stigma of disability as well as national, religious, and
racial boundaries. Dr. Hammer will explore the Israeli aspects of
these dance projects--both the societal barriers they help to break
down and those they preserve and perpetuate.
