The Collegium for African Diaspora Dance (CADD) is an egalitarian community of scholars and artists committed to exploring, promoting, and engaging African diaspora dance as a resource and method of aesthetic identity. Through conferences, roundtables, publications and public events, we facilitate interdisciplinary inquiry that captures the variety of topics, approaches, and methods that might constitute Black Dance Studies.
Our primary activity is providing space for researchers of all types to gather together bi-annually during our conferences. We also occasionally sponsor publications and smaller symposia and embodied talks.
