Naomi M. Jackson, Ph.D. is a Professor in the School of Music, Dance and Theatre at Arizona State University. Her books include Dance, Human Rights, and Social Justice: Dignity in Motion (co-edited with Toni Shapiro-Phim, Scarecrow Press), Right to Dance: Dancing for Rights (Banff Centre Press and Converging Movements: Modern Dance and Jewish Culture at the 92nd Street Y (Wesleyan University Press). She has spearheaded two international conferences, including one on dance and human rights, and one on dance and Jewishness. Her research focuses on ethics, human rights, social justice and contemporary trends in dance history and theory.

'Dance and Ethics is a comprehensive look at the history, background and role of ethics in dance. Jackson focuses her research on the western dance field(s), with a US-centric approach. Structurally, the book ‘follows the arc of a dance artist’s career’ (25), closely examining ethical issues in the education, training, making, criticism and presentation of dance. This landscape of perspectives constructs an impressive read... I recommend this book as an incredibly thoughtful resource that is useful to all of those who operate within the dance field – as teachers, choreographers, dancers, researchers, reviewers, presenters and keen audience members.'
