Fall 2009 Graduate Colloquium Schedule
N.B. Unless otherwise noted, all sessions will be held on Fridays, 4-6 p.m. in Lyman, room 211. Also note that there may be additions and likely be other changes to this schedule as the academic year proceeds.
| September 25: | Discussion with department graduate faculty of research, professional journals, grants and conferences. |
| October 2: | Claire Conceison of Duke University will be speaking on a topic to be decided. |
| October 2 and 3: | Mini-Conference in Honor of Professor John Emigh at Brown. We are compiling a list of theorists, historians and practitioners who will be presenting at this event and who we hope to make available to speak to our graduate students individually and collectively. |
| October 16: | Professor Nicholas Ridout, Head of the Department of Drama, Queen Mary College, University of London. Topic: 'Is this a holiday?' On the time of theatrical work in Godard's La chinoise and Hermanis's Sound of Silence. |
| November 11-15: | The annual conference of the American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR), which will be held this year in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Some of you will be attending. It would be good if a graduate colloquium session could be reserved to discuss the conference and for those of you who presented papers to share them with those students who did not attend the conference. This session would ideally occur prior to the end of fall semester. |
| December 4: | Professor Rebecca Schneider, Chair of the Department of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies, will lead a "key text" session. Topic to be announced. |
