CFP LGBT Focus Group of ATHE Announces Debut Panel

[Frank Miller]

CFP: Debut Panel

LGBT Theatre / ATHE

 

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Theatre Focus Group of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) invites submissions for its Debut Panel from scholars who have not yet presented at a national conference. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2010. 

 

The theme for the 2010 ATHE Conference in New York City is "Theatre Alive: Theatre, Media and Survival," which has inspired the LGBT Focus Group's theme "ALIVE AND KICKING (BACK)." As the conference as a whole looks at the ways in which the growth of media and other new technologies have affected the theatre, the LGBT Focus Group is interested in panels exploring the specific ways LGBT artists, educators, students and audiences fit into the equation.   Although we especially welcome papers on the conference and focus group themes, all proposals on LGBT theatre and performance will receive equal consideration. 

 

Both graduate students and faculty members are eligible to submit.  Submissions will be evaluated and selected for presentation by a jury of theatre scholars to be named.

 

Selection of papers is competitive.  Authors of selected papers will present them at the ATHE conference, which will be held August 3-6, 2010, at the Hyatt Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.  All presenters must register and pay the appropriate fees for the conference.  Conference presenters should be ATHE members unless they work outside the academic study of theatre. For information on the conference (including applicable costs), please visit http://www.athe.org/conference/index.

 

Papers should be an appropriate length for a 15- to 20-minute presentation (approximately eight pages).  Submit your paper and a cover sheet as email attachments to:

You should receive an acknowledgment of receipt within two days.

 

To maintain anonymity, please do not put your name in the body of the paper. On the cover sheet, include the title of your paper, your name, address, telephone, and email address. Applicants will be informed of the judges' decisions by May 1, 2010.
