[Candrama] CFP: Virtual Publication Development Forums (PDFs)

[Publication Development Forum]

*CFP: VIRTUAL Publication Development Forums (PDFs)*

[see email attachments for more information]



Early-career scholars (PhD/DFA/DPhil) in Theatre, Dance, & Performance
Studies or any related field who are in contingent positions and/or seeking
more secure academic employment are *invited to participate in a series of
no-cost, virtual meetings to develop a work-in-progress for publication*.
These virtual Publication Development Forums are an attempt to respond to
the myriad challenges that exist post-PhD, especially for contingent
faculty, to develop scholarship toward publication. Participants are only
eligible to take part in one Forum but may choose which one is best suited
to their schedule.



*APPLICATION DEADLINES*: June 8 (Forums 1-4) & July 6 (Forums 5-7)

***please email if you are unable to meet the June 8 deadline but can only
participate in one of the first four Forums***



*OVERVIEW*

These virtual PDFs are an expansion of the inaugural PDF that took place on
February 7, 2020, at Tufts University. Forums will be hosted by scholars
across the US during the summer of 2020. Participants will be paired with a
writing mentor and take part in nine hours of scheduled time over a
five-day period. Programs are spread over multiple days with flexible times
to better accommodate those who have responsibilities to families, summer
teaching, etc. The goal is to support participants as they meet a major
research goal.



*HOW TO APPLY*

Please complete this Google Form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeg1SGk72xcLvSiNijnCikNFnf5UAInBsOTzSqBRTAL7hwe7Q/viewform?usp=sf_link>
 if you have a draft article, essay for a collection, or book proposal and
are seeking more secure, permanent academic employment. You must already
hold a PhD, DPhil, or DFA in the fields of theatre, performance studies,
dance, or a related specialty. The application asks you to identify what
kind of writing you will be submitting to assist in pairing participants
with mentors, as well as a 200-word description of the work-in-progress.
Participants must submit drafts (25 - 50 pages max.) of their materials no
later than two weeks prior to their Forum to allow mentors time to review
their work-in-progress.



*SUPPORT*

This event owes much to the generous seed support of the American Theatre
and Drama Society and Association for Theatre in Higher Education, which
recognize the challenges that non-tenure stream and contingent faculty
face, and to ongoing organizational support from Northwestern University
and Tufts University. Volunteer hosts and mentors are gratefully
acknowledged.
