    CALL FOR PAPERS: "Performing Interdisciplinarity"

    ASSOCIATION FOR THEATRE IN HIGHER EDUCATION

    SAN DIEGO, 25-28 JULY 2002

    In this panel, pariticipants will discuss their ideas on collaborations
    between "traditional" scholarly departments (e.g., English, History, Drama)
    and performance departments. I invite participants to share their
    pedagogies--whether experienced, theorized, or both--for departmental
    "cross-fertilization" and the teaching of American theatre.

    Some questions to consider:

    How have you designed interdisciplinary courses featuring literary/historical
    as well as performance elements? What responses have you had fromyour
    institution? students? What current relationship do you perceive between
    "traditional" English and/or History departments and Theatre or Performance
    Studies departments? In designing an interdisciplinary theatre course, how
    have you shaped curricular goals? Delegated responsibilities? Alotted
    classtime? How might you evaluate the relative success or failure of your
    course?

    Papers may range from heavily theoretical to heavily
    pedagogical/experiential, or any mix in between. I am hoping this panel will
    help scholars and teachers from a variety of departments to dialogue about
    how they can benefit from collaboration. Specific interdisciplinary teaching
    strategies are extremely welcome.

    Please send one-page abstracts by MONDAY, OCTOBER 29 to:
