- Biography
- Dance historian, writer, and educator, Selma Jeanne Cohen (b. 1920) has been a major force in the world of dance publications. With a background in literature and dance history, Cohen co-founded the quarterly journal, Dance Perspectives, in 1959. One of the first journals dedicated to international dance history, Dance Perspectives became a respected publication; Cohen served as its editor from 1966 through 1976. During these same years, Cohen authored her three major books, including Doris Humphrey: An Artist First (1972). She also wrote articles that appeared in numerous journals, encyclopedias, and anthologies. Cohen's work with the Dance Perspectives Foundation culminated in the publication of the International Dance Encyclopedia, by the Oxford University Press in 1998. She also worked extensively as a professor and lecturer and helped to develop the dance history curriculum at many institutions, including the graduate program at the University of California, Riverside. Among the awards and honors received by Cohen have been a Rockefeller Foundation Research Grant (1969), the Professional Achievement Award, University of Chicago (1974), the American Dance Guild Award (1976), and the Dance Magazine Award (1981). She was a charter member of the Dance Panel of the National Endowment for the Arts (1966-1971).
