The Heather McCallum Scholarships

The Heather McCallum Scholarship was established in 1987 by the
Canadian Association for Theatre Research (CATR) in honour of the
former head of the Theatre Department at the Toronto Reference
Library. In its ongoing commitment to Heather McCallum's legacy, CATR
has increased the total value of the scholarship and has introduced a
second research focus in order to best represent the breadth and scope
of research activity generated by the CATR membership. Applications
for scholarships totaling $1,500 are invited from graduate students
and emerging scholars (within five years of the completion of a PhD)
pursuing projects in two principal areas: original research in
archives and collections; and research that situates theatre and
performance in broader international and transnational contexts in
either historical or contemporary paradigms. The scholarship may be
awarded to one or more applicants in a given year.

The McCallum scholarships are intended to allow researchers to enrich
their research projects through travel, access to archives or events,
or the purchase of materials. They are otherwise non-restrictive,
including research focusing on Canadian theatre and performance - pre-
and post-Confederation, indigenous, intercultural, and diasporic.
Interdisciplinary projects, which take researchers outside traditional
theatre archives, are welcome. The final outcome of the project is
also non-restrictive (it may be a doctoral dissertation, proposed
publication, or a new or on-going research initiative). Proposals will
be assessed on the basis of their potential contributions to the study
of theatre and performance as outlined in the aims and objectives of
the Association.

The committee encourages questions in advance of the application deadline.

Candidates are asked to submit the following:

1) A letter (1 to 2 pages) describing the project for which assistance
is required. The project should be well defined in scope, clearly
stating how this funding will help the project, and how this project
will contribute to the aims and objectives outlined above.

2) An anticipated breakdown of costs. Please include information
concerning other funding received or anticipated (other funding is not
a prerequisite for application).

4) A current curriculum vitae.

5) The name of one referee who has been asked to send a letter of
reference directly to the Secretary of the Committee. These letters
should comment on the project, on the candidate's scholarship record
and potential.

This year's deadline for applications for the 2013 Heather McCallum
Scholarships is 30 March 2013. Applications should be sent as .doc or
.pdf attachments to the Secretary of the Committee, Prof. Rosalind
Kerr, at rkerr at ualberta.ca

Criteria and Application Procedures, please refer to the
