Reminder - McCallum Applications Due Tomorrow

[Natalie Alvarez]

*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 2014 Heather McCallum
Scholarships is

 30 March 2014. Applications should be sent as .doc or .pdf attachments to
the Secretary of the Committee, Prof. Rosalind Kerr, at rkerr at ualberta.ca
