CALL FOR PAPERS

The Association for Canadian Theatre Research presents its inaugural
EMERGING SCHOLARS PANEL

We invite senior scholars to nominate their most promising graduate 
students in theatre and performance studies for this year’s inaugural 
ACTR Emerging Scholars panel. This panel is open to students in the 
final stages of their doctoral work, who will be entering the job 
market in the near future. Nominations must include a letter of 
endorsement from a senior scholar familiar with the work of the student 
in question, a 250-word abstract on a research topic of the student’s 
choice, and a short bio. The nominations will then be reviewed and a 
panel of three participants will be selected. Please note that 
nomination does not guarantee acceptance to the conference.

While we hope to hear about the range of exciting work being done by 
junior scholars in the field, we especially seek work that addresses, 
directly or indirectly, this year’s conference theme: Performing the 
City.

ACTR welcomes scholars both inside and outside Canada who work on a 
variety of topics in theatre and performance.

Submissions:
Nominations, paper proposals and bios are due by November 15, 2005.
