Selected participants will submit forum length working papers of no more than 1500 words that explore how peer review might allow, constrain and challenge our notions and value of live performance on-campus.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

invited to submit an approximately 500-word discussion paper reflecting on how their research, creative activity, or teaching encounters and approaches the subject of voice in Canadian theatre, as well as an approximately 250-word bio. Please email these materials

the conference’s recent tradition of offering a “walking” (or moving) group that enables participants to physically embody their land acknowledgement. MTRR aims to advance and interrogate the emergent body of work surrounding:</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color:#222222">We seek scholars and/or artists at any point in their careers interested in contributing to this three-year working group, which will reflect Indigenous protocols and epistemologies. For the first of its two 2020 conference
sessions, MTRR will meet outdoors, moving over the land and pausing to hear its stories. To do so, we will follow relationship-based protocols of engagement with community, offering welcome to local Elders and Knowledge Keepers. All CATR/SQET participants
will be welcomed to the initial session, which will highlight original place names and be conducted in English
<span style="letter-spacing:-.25pt">and </span>French. In a second session, group members will meet outdoors, to reflect on the walking practice and discuss their formal submissions. These submissions, received one month prior to the conference and posted in
a private group online, will draw on the research topics listed above and the conference’s theme. Submissions formatted in a way that resists Western academic norms will be encouraged (including those that incorporate storytelling, performance, photography,
textile art, etc.). Short essays (approx. 2000 words) written in English or French will also be accepted. These submissions will fuel a curated discussion in Montreal.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
