The program’s fields of specialization, which structure our curriculum and degree requirements, collectively highlight faculty strengths and our collective interest in exploring intersections of theatre, performance, and cultural politics. They include:
- Canadian Theatre and Cultural Politics
- Postcolonialism and Globalization
- Cultural Policy and Theatrical Economies
- Gender and Sexuality
- Embodiment and Cultural Memory
- Environment and Cultural Geography
- Critical Pedagogy and Community Engagement
- Intermediality and Technology
These areas foreground the spirit of political inquiry and practice-based experimentation central to the particular faculty research projects and centres that are connected to our program, including the Centre for Imaginative Ethnography; Sensorium: Digital Arts and Technology Research; Future Cinema Lab; InTensions; and the Performance Studies (Canada) Project.
