CALL FOR PAPERS

GRADUATE STUDENT SEMINARS

We invite graduate students to submit proposals for two seminars to be 
held at the 2006 ACTR conference at York University in Toronto. Each 
seminar will feature up to eight graduate student participants and two 
senior scholars who will act as respondents. Papers of 10 pages in 
length will be circulated in advance in order to allow for thorough 
discussion during the seminar. Participants will not read their papers 
during the seminar, but will be asked to come ready to discuss all 
papers and engage with the broader issues that they raise. Spectators 
will be welcome.

While the purpose of these seminars is to allow graduate students from 
across Canada and abroad to share their diverse research interests with 
one another and to receive feedback from senior mentors, each seminar 
will have a broad theme in order to encourage scholarly synergy. These 
themes are:

1) Performing Urban, Performing Rural: Theatre and the Markers of Place
2) Writing and Performing Transnationally: Canadian Theatre and 
Canadian Theatre Scholarship Beyond the National Frame

Proposals of 250 words, as well as a short bio, are due no later than 
November 15, 2005. Please indicate clearly on your proposal the seminar 
for which you would like to be considered.

Proposals should be sent (preferably as MS Word attachments) to:
