ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW EDITOR, THEATRE RESEARCH IN CANADA/RECHERCHES THÉÂTRALES AU CANADA

April 29, 2012

THEATRE RESEARCH IN CANADA/RECHERCHES THÉÂTRALES AU CANADA is pleased to announce that Prof. Marlis Schweitzer will be its next General Editor. Marlis will start a five-year term in September 2012, serving as Associate Editor alongside outgoing Editor Glen Nichols in her first year.

Marlis, an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre at York University, is the author of When Broadway Was the Runway: Theater, Fashion, and American Culture and has published articles in a number of journals including Theatre Journal, Theatre Survey, Theatre Research in Canada, CTR, and TDR, as well as in the edited collection Performance and the City (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009). She has co-edited issues of Canadian Theatre Review (on Celebrity Culture, with Laura Levin) and Performance Research 16.3: Performing Publics (with Laura Levin, Melanie Bennett, and Richard Gough) and is co-editing a forthcoming issue of Theatre Research in Canada (with Stephen Johnson) on the theme of Gender and Empire. Marlis is currently a co-investigator on the SSHRC-funded Performance Studies Canada Project led by Laura Levin (http://performancecanada.com/) and a principal investigator on a SSHRC-funded project that explores transnational theatre culture in the early 1900s.

Congratulations, Marlis -- we're delighted to have you on board!

I would also like to publicly thank Glen for his years of incredible service to our community during his tenure at TRiC/RTaC, the last two years of which he managed to do while in a demanding new position as Director of Drama at Mount Allison University. Glen's meticulous work, sound judgement and generous spirit have made him a pleasure to work with.

Best,
Barry.
