In collaboration with the National Geographic Science Dance Project, the goal of this project is to conduct pilot research to answer the question: How does creating and participating in dance as a form of storytelling impact participants’ understanding of, empathy towards, and behaviors towards sea turtle conservation? We intend to test the potential of dance through a controlled, experimental study to compare dance-based programs with other forms of engagement (i.e. science lecture and science theater). We will be using metrics of and cognitive theories of empathy in our study. Recruited close to 100 participants to be in the study. Show less
