New Heather McCallum Scholarships

[Natalie Alvarez]

Dear Colleagues,
   Please find attached and below the newly configured and expanded  
call for the Heather McCallum Scholarship, which now invites proposals  
that fall into two general research areas.

Best,
   Natalie

The Heather McCallum Scholarships

The Heather McCallum Scholarship was established in 1987 by the  
Canadian Association for Theatre Research (CATR) in honour of the  
former head of the Theatre Department at the Toronto Reference  
Library. In its ongoing commitment to Heather McCallum's legacy, CATR  
has increased the total value of the scholarship and has introduced a  
second research focus in order to best represent the breadth and scope  
of research activity generated by the CATR membership. Applications  
for scholarships totaling $1,500 are invited from graduate students  
and emerging scholars (within five years of the completion of a PhD)  
pursuing projects in two principal areas: original research in  
archives and collections; and research that situates theatre and  
performance in broader international and transnational contexts in  
either historical or contemporary paradigms. The scholarship may be  
awarded to one or more applicants in a given year.

The McCallum scholarships are intended to allow researchers to enrich  
their research projects through travel, access to archives or events,  
or the purchase of materials. They are otherwise non-restrictive,  
including research focusing on Canadian theatre and performance - pre-  
and post-Confederation, indigenous, intercultural, and diasporic.  
Interdisciplinary projects, which take researchers outside traditional  
theatre archives, are welcome. The final outcome of the project is  
also non-restrictive (it may be a doctoral dissertation, proposed  
publication, or a new or on-going research initiative). Proposals will  
be assessed on the basis of their potential contributions to the study  
of theatre and performance as outlined in the aims and objectives of  
the Association.

The committee encourages questions in advance of the application deadline.

Candidates are asked to submit the following:

1) A letter (1 to 2 pages) describing the project for which assistance  
is required. The project should be well defined in scope, clearly  
stating how this funding will help the project, and how this project  
will contribute to the aims and objectives outlined above.

2) An anticipated breakdown of costs. Please include information  
concerning other funding received or anticipated (other funding is not  
a prerequisite for application).

4) A current curriculum vitae.

5) The name of one referee who has been asked to send a letter of  
reference directly to the Secretary of the Committee. These letters  
should comment on the project, on the candidate's scholarship record  
and potential.

This year's deadline for applications for the 2013 Heather McCallum  
Scholarships is 30 March 2013. Applications should be sent as .doc or  
.pdf attachments to the Secretary of the Committee, Prof. Rosalind  
Kerr, at rkerr at ualberta.ca

Criteria and Application Procedures, please refer to the
