[Candrama] Canadian theatre studies publishing: A state-of-the-field discussion

Many Canadian theatre studies institutions – including the Canadian Association for Theatre Research and Canadian Theatre Review – are marking their 50th anniversaries, and the fields of publishing and media are transforming rapidly in our era. The time seems ripe to take a step back and ask: How are the existing Canadian theatre journals sitting within our field and the broader academic publishing landscape? What is the relationship between these journals and other forms of publishing about and of Canadian theatre? Looking forward to the next 50 years, how can publishing best support the field of Canadian theatre studies and set it up for success?
If you’re interested in exploring these questions, please join a discussion on Monday, September 15 between 12-1:30 pm EDT on Zoom. All are welcome. A working plan is to convene several such Zoom meetings this academic year to set the terms for a dedicated session at next year’s 50th anniversary CATR conference at the University of Victoria.
