Abstract

This talk was given at the panel in honor of the author who was recipient of the CORD 2014 Award for Outstanding Scholarly Research in Dance. Having been encouraged to continue in the tradition of “thoughtful, rigorous and engaging” work, the author takes on the concept of “rigor,” reframing the word to apply to the rigorous pursuit of intellectual, aesthetic, and inherent passion, curiosity, and learning grounded in academic discipline that drove her own research, fieldwork, and writing.

Notes

1. I am happy to thank Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett and Allegra Snyder, my two mentors whose wide-ranging wisdom left room for students to explore and experiment, if they did it with rigor. Thanks as well to the scholars who nominated me for this award, to the Awards Committee and Board of CORD, and to CORD, for many good years in your company.

2. This is not so far-fetched. We know that the digestive tract, sometimes called the “enteric brain,” is the only part of the body with the same kind of cells as the head brain.
