Dear all,
SQET has just published an in memorium tribute to the remarkable Louise. I paste it in below. You can find it on the FB page of la SQET, Louise’s other scholarly home.

With sadness,
Erin

[IN MEMORIAM]
Le 16 mai dernier, Louise Forsyth est décédée à Calgary, en Alberta. Louise était membre honoraire de la SQET depuis 2021. C’était une grande chercheuse et une mentore admirable, en particulier dans les domaines du théâtre québécois et du théâtre des femmes. Elle a toujours encouragé la communication et l’échange entre le Québec, le Canada francophone et le Canada anglophone.
Elle a terminé un doctorat en études françaises en 1966 et a été professeure à l’Université Western (ou University of Western Ontario) à London, en Ontario de 1966 à 1991. De 1991 à 1997, elle a été doyenne aux études supérieures et à la recherche et professeure titulaire au département d’études françaises à l’Université de la Saskatchewan. À partir de 1997 jusqu’à sa retraite officielle comme professeure émérite en 2003, elle a été professeure titulaire au département de Women’s and Gender Studies de l’Université de la Saskatchewan. Depuis, Louise était associée de recherche au département d’anglais de l’Université de Calgary.
Pendant sa longue carrière, elle a donné des cours de théâtre québécois et canadien, notamment un séminaire sur le théâtre de Marie Laberge. Elle a fait paraître une anthologie de traductions de pièces de théâtre de femmes en trois volumes, dont plusieurs de sa plume. Elle a aussi dirigé un ouvrage collectif sur l’œuvre de Nicole Brossard et a publié de nombreux articles et chapitres de livres sur le théâtre et la littérature d’expression française du Québec et du Canada.
À l’occasion d’une célébration en son honneur organisée par la SQET en 2021, Sylvain Lavoie et Evelyne de la Chenelière ont préparé une courte vidéo pour leur témoigner leur amitié.
Merci encore à Louise pour sa grande contribution aux études théâtrales.

Louise was such a great feminist! She’d known me as a theatre maker (Co of Sirens) and then embraced me as an academic when I was doing my Masters. Her validation meant the world to me.
Very sad.

Thank you for letting us know Moira. This is indeed sad news. Louise was such a huge inspiration to me, as I know she was to many others. Her intelligence, determination and profound kindness left the world a better place.

I am saddened by this news. Louise was very supportive of my early work and we became friends; she was supportive of, and a friend to, so many in the academy. She will be missed.

Dear colleagues,

I am writing this morning with sad news. Yesterday, I was informed by her family that long-time CATR member, Louise Forsyth, had passed away quietly in Calgary on May 16th, 2024. Her health began to fail after 2022, and while our last visit in February, 2024 went well, she was clearly very fragile even then.

Louise was a force in our field as a prolific scholar, brilliant administrator, and gifted mentor and teacher, especially in the area of Québec theatre and Women's Studies. She will be very much missed.

Best,
Moira
