Natalie Zervou received the First Book Program award through the Center of the Humanities at UW-Madison to complete her manuscript “Choreographing the Greek Crisis: Performing National Identity in the Age of Austerity.”
This award provides support to junior faculty in the humanities so that they may complete their manuscript projects. Zervou is an assistant professor with the School of Education’s Dance Department.
In addition to her award, Zervou’s article “Walking Backward: Choreographing the Greek Crisis” was recently published in “Futures of Dance Studies,” a curated anthology published by the University of Wisconsin Press and edited by Susan Manning, Janice Ross, and Rebecca Schneider.
The book is a collaboration between well-established and rising scholars writing about multiple directions for new research in the field of Dance, covering diverse areas of study including African American and African diasporic studies, Latinx and Latin American studies, gender and sexuality studies, Asian American and Asian studies, and more.
