Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this our 299th episode, our guest is Julie Cruse. Hailed as “pioneer of computational choreography” by Dance Magazine, Julie Cruse is a writer, inventor, instructional designer, content strategist and former academic with an MFA and MA. Spanning two decades, her educational innovations have served four Ivy League, four public and two community colleges. Her distinctions include 30-plus grants and honors, a National Science Foundation fellowship and recognition as Outstanding Alumni in Innovation. A first-generation student and creator of VICKi™(patent-pending), the world’s first choreographic software, Cruse has turned her own story into a movement for transparency and survivor solidarity through AcademicAbuse.com. Her new book, “The Burn List: A Memoir of Abuse from Home to Higher Education” was published in March.
