SUMMARY:A Celebration of Naomi Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to celebrate the life and work of Naomi Jackson. For 30 years\, Professor Naomi Jackson taught in Arizona State University’s dance program\, touching the lives of countless students. Jackson died June 19 after a two-and-a-half-year fight with cancer\, leaving a lasting impact on her family\, friends\, students\, colleagues and the dance community. \nHer research wove together the intersections of dance and Jewish identity\, the impact of technology and media on the field of dance\, and the connections between dance\, human rights\, social justice and ethics. Through publications\, presentations and community engagement\, she aimed to build a more inclusive and equitable field. She directed two international conferences\, one around dance and human rights and one about dance and Jewishness. Her impact was far reaching. Please RSVP at the event link and share any memories you have with Jackson. \nSaturday\, Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. \nMargaret Gisolo Dance Theatre (Bulldog Hall 132)\n611 E. Orange St.
