<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><i><span lang="EN-GB">Applied Theatre Research</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"> is a leading international journal written for and read by practitioners and scholars that advances
performance practices engaging with some of the most complex contemporary contexts. This double-blind peer-reviewed journal has a global focus, with an explicit policy of ensuring excellence (and access) from all continents. We aim for the biannual publication
of a guest edited issue and welcome expressions of interest from individuals or collectives in this regard. Please contact the editors with your proposal. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-GB">Applied theatre practitioners and scholars have long balanced issues of power inequities with creative and participant-led pedagogies. In the contemporary context,
we are overt about these often-opposing elements of our practice and conditions. We encourage contributions that grapple with the challenges of working to achieve social justice in the contemporary moment. These may critically engage with issues of artistic
intervention and appraise or challenge core tenets of applied theatre research towards new and novel understandings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-GB">The journal provides a platform for research and practice that is critical, experimental and rigorous, and that demonstrates diverse examples of the possibilities
and limitations of applied theatre practice. We encourage new forms of more integrated interdisciplinarity involving co-authorship across the academy. We are thrilled to support hybrid performance aesthetics from explorations of theatre and performance. We
are eager to present opportunities for emerging tools and challenges to canonized ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

writing can be a daunting task, we offer mentorship support to practitioners and scholars to develop their reflections of practice to publishable standard for the journal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
