RESEARCH BASED FIELD PROJECTS
Hagood, Thomas K., and Luke C. Kahlich. 2008–2012. The IMPULSE Digital Preservation
and Access Project (IAPP). T.K. Hagood, project director and chair. IAPP was a four-year
project to: explore and resolve all issues of copyright, fair use, and presentation for IMPULSE,
the field’s first and preeminent journal connecting dance and discourses in related arts, the
humanities, and the social sciences 1950–1970. IMPULSE is an orphaned journal. While issue
copyright information cites a corporate entity registered in California, an exhaustive search for
documentation affirming the journal’s corporate status could not locate or confirm registration
with local, state, or national filing entities. IAPP’s goals were to digitally preserve the journal
and provide universal access to the journal’s contents through the internet, develop a text of
contemporary analysis of each issue from today’s point of view, and conclude with an
international conference on the future of dance in higher education (inspired by the 1968
IMPULSE issue, “Dance, A Projection for the Future”). Digital preservation and re-presentation
of IMPULSE was accomplished by including the full collection of IMPULSE issues in Temple
University’s Paley Library Digital Collections Archive (completed 2010), The conference,
Dance 2050: The Future of Dance as a Discipline in American Higher Education, May 17–21,
2012, was hosted by the Temple University Boyer College of Music and Dance. The IAPP
concluded with publication of Perspectives in Contemporary Dance History; Revisiting Impulse
1950-1970, Cambria Press (2013).

PEER REVIEWS of PUBLICATIONS:
A History of Dance in American Higher Education: Dance and the American University.
Lewiston. NY. Edwin Mellen Press. 2000.
CHOICE, August 2000. “An astute history of the integration of dance into colleges and
universities, this volume will interest all students of dance and should be required reading
for anyone aspiring to teach dance in academia.”
PEER REVIEWS: Mellen Press.
“. . . a sophisticated, historical journey through the rise of dance in higher education. The
superbly documented work is a fascinating read from start to finish . . . . This text serves
well as both a historical overview and a boundless research source. It is loaded from
cover to cover with interesting facts, details, stories, trivia and historical connections
missing from many dance resources in use today. This insight and saturation of
information will make this an invaluable work and a ‘must have’ on very dance
educator’s shelf.” – Tressa Gorman Crehan (SUNY Buffalo).
“. . . brings together much heretofore scattered references and little known facts about
influential educators and artists and their effect upon dance in higher education. The book
addresses historical trends and their eventual effects on current dance education. This has
been an unexplored area of dance research and badly needed in the field. Dr. Hagood has
attained access to unusual documentation and interviews which have been incorporated in
the book. . . .This book will contribute significantly to the depth and breadth of dance

history research, specifically in education. It is an excellent and unique contribution.” –
Janice Gudde Plastino (UC—Irvine).
Journal of Dance Education 2/1 34–35. 2002
This text would be an excellent selection for any dance education or pedagogy course at
the undergraduate or graduate level. While it is primarily a history reference, Hagood
presents his research in a sociocultural and sociopolitical context that is anything but
dry…This nearly exhaustive, educational history of dance, painted so clearly by Hagood,
shows us how challenging, complicate, intelligent and profound the dance discipline is
(as if we had any doubt), for that alone this text needs to be read. — Donna Davenport
(Hobart and William Smith Colleges)
Margaret H’Doubler: The Legacy of America’s Dance Education Pioneer.
Amherst, NY Cambria Press 2006
CHOICE, October 2007.
Provides an in-depth examination of a pioneering woman who believed that dance should
be studied as both an art and a science. H'Doubler single-handedly forged the dance
program at the
University of Wisconsin 80 years ago, making it the first dance degree-granting program
in the US. For her 1926 students, a typical semester included courses in physical
education (including dance), science, and the humanities including especially music.
Known for such mottos as "In dance, you are your own textbook, laboratory, and
teacher," H'Doubler wanted dance to be biologically sound, and she spoke of educating
the whole person and integrated wholeness. Beginning in the 1930s, H'Doubler's students
began to disseminate her teaching and writings to their own students. This
well-organized anthology brings together many authentic voices—speaking from their
personal experience with H'Doubler from the late 1920s to the present--as well as some
of H'Doubler's own work, including personal notes. An excellent resource on a seminal
figure in American dance. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division
undergraduates through faculty and
professionals; general readers.
GOODREADS.com
www.goodreads.com/book/show/2513758.Margaret_H_Doubler_
This pioneering collection of articles presents a fresh look at the life, work and seminal
contributions of Margaret H'Doubler, the pioneering dance educator who established the
first dance major in higher education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1926.
This anthology is unique, given that it is the first thorough critique of Margaret
H'Doubler's life, career, and philosophies. The book is also timely in its inclusion of so
many authentic voices, speaking from their first hand experience with the master from as
early as the late 1920s to the present, now twenty-three years after H'Doubler's death. The
book completes a task that is due any original thinker and practitioner in the course of her
or his lifetime, but remarkably, was not in the case of Margaret H'Doubler. Margaret

educators who all too often were known only by those who studied with them. …Though
many included in this book are considered giants among dance educators, they have
rarely been heard of beyond their classrooms and the small circle of professionals
familiar with their legacies. Nonetheless, their students’ remembrances —the experiences
related in this book—indicate the profound change wrought in their students’ lives and
how that influence shaped the face of dance education. How many more stories must be
out there! Who will record them? Why is our dance legacy so fleeting?
In reading this book, the existing or aspiring dance educator realizes that our legacy,
while strong is equally fragile. It only exists while those who mentored are there to pass it
along. That’s what makes this book a wonder. It will encourage today’s dance educators
to record their work. Were this to happen, we could trace the development of dance and
by doing so, inform others of our rich and unique history, heritage and culture.

Perspectives on Contemporary Dance History: Revisiting Impulse, 1950–1970. Amherst, NY:
Cambria Press. 2013.
Dance Chronicle, 37: 272-276, 2014
Because of its range of authors, topics, and points of view, Impulse was a unique
publication. It should be of interest to historians, dance scholars, or anyone else curious
about the development of new dance from the mid-twentieth century on. But until
recently, extant copies of Impulse were scattered and not easily accessible. Hence the
Impulse Preservation and Access Project (IPAP)—begun in 2008 by Thomas K. Hagood
and Luke C. Kahlich and completed in 2013—to collect and digitize all issues of the
periodical, making them publicly available on the Temple University Libraries digital
collections site. Perspectives on Contemporary Dance History: Revisiting Impulse 1950–
1970 is a companion volume, a guide to and commentary on the material gathered in the
digitized version. Its nineteen writers, associated with a wide range of collegiate dance
programs and/or professional associations, possess a tremendous fund of knowledge
about the topics in Impulse. The Perspectives approach is two-fold. First, its authors
glance back, giving a year-by-year Impulse overview. Each chapter examines the articles
in the pages of a single Impulse issue to illuminate subjects treated across those two
seminal decades. Second, contributors look forward from that era to the present day,
assessing that issue’s theme with regard to attitude changes, progress or lack of it, and
ways of restructuring or reimagining the role(s) of contemporary dance since the issue’s
publication.
In making the transition from vanguard contemporary dance journal written from
multiple disciplinary perspectives to ex post facto object of study on a computer monitor,
Impulse could not help but lose some of its energy and timeliness. That said, Perspectives
on Contemporary Dance History: Revisiting Impulse 1950–1970 makes a good
introduction—in conjunction with reading Impulse itself online, of course—to the digital
reissue of this important annual and does a great deal to place its various themes in
present-day as well as historical context.

Abstract:
In the popular media, American cultural, educational, and political life is portrayed as
ideologically split down the middle. The split is often framed in terms of opposites by
using the ideas and labels addressed by the author in this paper--traditional versus
nontraditional, experiment versus the status quo, diversity versus homogeneity, change
versus a return to traditional values--and the cycle starts again. According to Hagood,
dance educators are not effectively using their discipline's scope and substance to
counteract the corroding forces of a relativistic and narcissistic popular culture. Instead,
their work is often reactive; shifts with the tides of local pressures for product; and is
shaped by the limited, parochial, and dimensionless understandings many in education
and culture have regarding the merit and worth of educating in and through dance. He
contends that the isolation of so many dance educators and the lack of any field voice or
advocacy for standards will keep dance, at best, an activity, thus exacerbating the
troubling influence of popular culture on what dance is or can be in its educational
potential. He suggests that, while framing dance teachers' work in consideration of the
values inherent in legacy (tradition), test and trial (experiment), multiple forms and views
(diversity), and subsequent evolution (change) is no panacea for uncertainty and the
corroding effects of narcissistic political and popular cultures, attention to those notions
(along with ongoing and open discussion among faculty, students, and dance teachers at
local, state, and regional levels, in K-12, university, and studio environments), may better
foster field sensibility and thereby support communities of educators and learners that
enjoy their capacity to share and disagree, challenge and join, plan and produce in an
environment of learning in and through dance.
