We are delighted to announce that Dr. Janelle Reinelt will be the inaugural speaker in series of guest scholarly visits brought to you by the Centre for Spectatorship and Audience Research, a working group started by senior PhD students Kelsey Jacobson, Scott Mealey, Jenny Salisbury and Cassandra Silver. The Centre was established to connect individual scholars across North America who are working in the field of spectatorship, in order to assist and support their research, generate a community of active researchers and begin to fill the gap in scholarship when it comes to audience research. For more info about the Centre, visit: www.centreforspectatorship.com<http://www.centreforspectatorship.com/>.


Janelle Reinelt, Emeritus Professor of Theatre and Performance at University of Warwick, was President of the International Federation for Theatre Research (2004-2007). She has published widely on politics and performance, receiving the 'Distinguished Scholar Award' for lifetime achievement from the American Society for Theatre Research (2010), and an honorary doctorate from the University of Helsinki in 2014. In 2012, she was awarded the 'Excellence in Editing' prize together with Brian Singleton for their Palgrave book series, 'Studies in International Performance'. Recent books include The Political Theatre of David Edgar: Negotiation and Retrieval with Gerald Hewitt (Cambridge UP, 2011), and The Grammar of Politics and Performance with Shirin Rai (Routledge, 2015). She has just co-edited a special issue of the Cultural Studies journal Lateral, entitled 'Leveraging Justice', published on line this autumn at http://csalateral.org/wp/
