- Kandyce Anderson Amie (she/her) is a scholar of curriculum history and the socio-philosophical discourses of the body, completing her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her dissertation investigates the dance curriculum of the 1940s and 1950s, revealing how eugenics, health, and Black womanhood shaped the conditions of emergence for the modern Black dancing body. In her work on multicultural education, Anderson Amie critiques diversity and inclusion policies that fall short of valuing the cultures they aim to integrate due to the systems of reasoning that support them.
- Her research bridges curriculum studies and dance studies, focusing on how the body serves as a medium for technical discourse and three-dimensional expression. Moving forward, her work addresses how educational ideals of human perfection intersect with technological discourse, specifically examining the "body as technology" and its implications in both education and dance. In her conference presentation Time, Race, and the Technological Production of the Feminized Body, she critiques the commodification of dancers' bodies as extensions of technology and interrogates ethical questions related to artificial intelligence, gender, and necropolitical realities.
- Her scholarly contributions include presentations such as Embodied Discourses of Racism and Perfection in 1930s Dance Education (2024), Who Pays for the University’s Conflation of Whiteness, Humanity, and the Arts (2022), and Hidden Curriculums of a Student’s Body (2021). In addition to her scholarship, Anderson Amie has audited curricula to better support marginalized students and partnered with arts organizations that specifically serve communities of color, advocating for their sustained funding. She has also collaborated across disciplines, contributing to interdisciplinary conversations about valuing difference and offering workshops on diversity aimed at educators and performing artists. She has shared her insights in various forums, including podcast, Made Men, discussing Black womanhood and its intersections with race, identity, and bodily politics.
- Here at 69色情视频, Anderson Amie continues to expand her interdisciplinary research at the intersections of curriculum studies, race, and dance.
