We are so excited to have Shay Welch as one of our guest lecturers at the Atlanta Aerial Arts Festival 2018 this year!

More about Shay:
Shay Welch is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Spelman College. She holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Binghamton University and was the Gaius Charles Bolin Fellow in Philosophy at Williams College. Her areas of specialization are Native American Philosophy, Feminist Ethics, and Social/Political Philosophy; she teaches courses on freedom, ethics, s*x, and Native philosophy.

Her first book is A Theory of Freedom: Feminism and the Social Contract. She and was awarded the Future of Minority Studies Fellowship in publishing for her last book, Existential Eroticism: A Feminist Ethics Approach to Women’s Oppression Perpetuating Choices. And her most recent publications include “Native American Chaos Theory and the Politics of Difference” and “Imagination and Wonder: Native Cognitive Schemas and Democratic Ethics”. Her upcoming book is Dancing with Native American Epistemology: The Phenomenology of a Performative Knowledge System. This book will be an analytical but phenomenological articulation of Native American epistemology using a blend of dance theory and cognitive science. She argues that feminism has much to learn from Native philosophy.

Her professional goals are to support and mentor young women of color in philosophy and to create and lead workshops intended to restructure the canon of political theory to include the voices of white women, women of color, men of color, and the poor. Such a restructuring would not only make political theory more attuned to concrete political relations and contexts but it will also aid the discipline in recruiting and retaining more underrepresented young philosophers.

More about Rachel:
Classically trained in ballet since the age of three, Rachel is a dancer turned aerialist, choreographer, and variety performer. She began her study of circus arts in 2007, developing a unique style and approach to aerial work, and has performed extensively across the United States and around the world.

As a performer and choreographer, Rachel is known for her innovative combinations, movement quality, and her obsessive study of spiral momentum. International collaborations include devising choreography and performing with Fidget Feet Aerial Dance in Ireland, as well as the award winning show “Elements” with Natural Wings out of Perth in Western Australia.

Homemade recipes include writing and producing “Icarus” which debuted in the 2013 New Orleans Fringe Festival. She feels honored to have worked on US soil with such fine companies as ticktock, Emerald City Trapeze Arts, Madame Rex Entertainment, Kinetic Arts Productions, Trapeze World, Queensryche, and Circus Automatic.
​
Given to excess and quixotic tendencies, Rachel specializes in aerial hoop choreography and the practice of telling stories.
