Professorial and academic reflections 2: Carla Walter interviewed by Amanda Williamson

Abstract

Abstract Dr Carla Walter recently published her book ‘Dance, Consumerism and Spirituality’ with Palgrave Macmillan. It was fascinating to me that both her book and my co-edited book, ‘Dance Somatics and Spiritualities: Contemporary Sacred Narratives’ arrived on the bookshelf at around the same – very different, yet complimentary texts, expanding the spiritual horizon in Dance Studies in the contemporary milieu. Here we interweave some ideas and we explore together aspects of her book, and some further issues in relation to dance and spirituality as a developing area of research and teaching in higher education.
