Different Stages - Glasgow workshop

Dr Naomi Paxton

Different Stages: Exploring public engagement for Drama and Theatre early career academics is a project run by Dr Naomi Paxton from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, and funded by the British Academy. <A HREF="https://www.cssd.ac.uk/different-stages" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.cssd.ac.uk/different-stages</A>
The project is designed for Drama and Theatre PhD students and ECRs to discuss the role of public engagement and knowledge exchange within the discipline, to identify key areas in which advocacy for research in Drama and Theatre might be used to influence policy, and to learn skills so they can take the lead in creating opportunities for interdisciplinary and creative collaboration both within their institutions and as independent researchers.
The Glasgow workshop will run from 10.30am to 4.30pm on the 16th January at the Glasgow Women's Library. It is free to attend and for any PhD student or ECR researching Drama and Theatre, or including drama and theatre practices within their interdisciplinary research. For the purposes of this project there are no time limits on ECR status or a need for a current academic affiliation – all are welcome!
The themes of this workshop are arts and the city, community engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Guest speakers are Dr Mhairi Stewart (Head of Public Engagement with Research, University of St Andrews), Jean Cameron (Project Director for Paisley City of Culture 2021, Board member for National Theatre of Scotland, Creative Director for British Council's UK/Italy Season 2020), and Susan Morrison (comedian, broadcaster, and curator of the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas).
