Dear Colleagues,
Some of you maybe interested in this CFP for ASTR's Virtual Publication
Development Forums for early-career scholars, including one for the
Pacific NW region that I and some of my UBC colleagues will serve as
mentors. Note that the application deadline for August workshops is July 6.
All best,
Siyuan

*View the website

*
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*: *July 6* (Midwest, New England, The South, &
Pacific NW) & *August 28* (CA/Southwest)
*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 objective 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 (50 pp. or 15k words 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.
