História biográfica
Jill Flanders Crosby holds an Ed.D. from Teachers College, Columbia University, and is a professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Since beginning her research in Ghana in 1991, she has focused on ritual dance forms in Ghana, Togo, and Cuba, conducting fieldwork from 1997 to 2018. Her extensive research inspired a collaborative art installation that debuted in Havana, Cuba, in December 2010 and was later exhibited in Ghana in 2013 and San Francisco in 2014.
Flanders Crosby has presented her findings on Ghanaian and Cuban dance traditions at numerous scholarly conferences, including those of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the African Studies Association, the Congress on Research in Dance, and the Society for Applied Anthropology. Her research has been published in Making Caribbean Dance (University Press of Florida) and journals such as Southern Quarterly, Material Religion, Etnofoor, Revista Catauro, as well as on the Centre for Imaginative Ethnography website. Additionally, she has explored the origins of jazz dance, contributing to the edited volume Jazz Dance: A History of the Roots and Branches (University Press of Florida).
Currently, Flanders Crosby is conducting oral history research among dancers, choreographers, and composers in the Cook Islands of the South Pacific, focusing on their creative and cultural expressions in dance.
