[Siyuan (Steven) Liu]

Dear Colleagues,

Some of you maybe interested in this CFP for ASTR's Virtual Publication 
Development Forums for early-career scholars, including one for the 
Pacific NW region that I and some of my UBC colleagues will serve as 
mentors. Note that the application deadline for August workshops is July 6.

All best,

Siyuan

*CFP: VIRTUAL Publication Development Forums (PDF)*

*View the website 
<https://onlineconversations.wixsite.com/research/pdf> for more information*

*


Early-career scholars (PhD/DFA/DPhil) in Theatre, Dance, & Performance 
Studies or any related field who are in contingent positions and/or 
seeking more secure academic employment are *invited to participate in a 
series of no-cost, virtual meetings to develop a work-in-progress for 
publication*. These virtual Publication Development Forums are an 
attempt to respond to the myriad challenges that exist post-PhD, 
especially for contingent faculty, to develop scholarship toward 
publication. Participants are only eligible to take part in one Forum 
but may choose which one is best suited to their schedule.

*APPLICATION DEADLINES*: *July 6* (Midwest, New England, The South, & 
Pacific NW) & *August 28* (CA/Southwest)

*OVERVIEW*

These virtual PDFs are an expansion of the inaugural PDF that took place 
on February 7, 2020, at Tufts University. Forums will be hosted by 
scholars across the US during the summer of 2020. Participants will be 
paired with a writing mentor and take part in nine hours of scheduled 
time over a five-day period. Programs are spread over multiple days with 
flexible times to better accommodate those who have responsibilities to 
families, summer teaching, etc. The objective is to support participants 
as they meet a major research goal.

*HOW TO APPLY*

Please complete this Google Form 
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeg1SGk72xcLvSiNijnCikNFnf5UAInBsOTzSqBRTAL7hwe7Q/viewform?usp=sf_link> if 
you have a draft article, essay for a collection, or book proposal and 
are seeking more secure, permanent academic employment. You must already 
hold a PhD, DPhil, or DFA in the fields of theatre, performance studies, 
dance, or a related specialty. The application asks you to identify what 
kind of writing you will be submitting to assist in pairing participants 
with mentors, as well as a 200-word description of the work-in-progress. 
Participants must submit drafts (50 pp. or 15k words max.) of their 
materials no later than two weeks prior to their Forum to allow mentors 
time to review their work-in-progress.

*SUPPORT*

This event owes much to the generous seed support of the American 
Theatre and Drama Society and Association for Theatre in Higher 
Education, which recognize the challenges that non-tenure stream and 
contingent faculty face, and to ongoing organizational support from 
Northwestern University and Tufts University. Volunteer hosts and 
mentors are gratefully acknowledged.
