Performance and Public Scholarship

Public-facing scholarship and research-creation are increasingly central aspects of my research, especially as it touches minority-language cultural workers and communities. As part of the English-language Québec theatre project, I’ve produced two series of professional staged-readings of plays and have collaborated with Dr. Alison Bowie on a storymapping website. Recently, Laurence Dauphinais drew on my research behind the scenes and my (amateur) performance skills on stage to create her original play, Cyclorama, which played the Centaur Theatre and the Centre du théâtre d’aujourd’hui in October and November 2022.
