at the undergraduate and graduate levels.  S/he will have knowledge of
and experience in the discipline of theatre and its application across a
wide variety of contexts; knowledge of and experience in teacher
training; an understanding of the role and potential application of
interdisciplinarity; and the ability to design opportunities for
outreach to a variety of disciplines. The appointment requires someone

offer to the wider community at the university, local, and provincial
levels, and who understands the means by which those liaisons can be
most productively effected. The appointee will have a record of
innovative research and sound scholarship that is supported by
publications that demonstrate his/her contributions to the field.

Responsibilities:
The appointee will teach undergraduate and graduate courses designed to
apply the concept of theatre beyond its traditional performance and

encompass practice of the art-form as a means for human, political and
social transformation.  The appointee will develop the necessary
connections between the Theatre department and those faculties and
schools that see the value of such liaisons.  As an excellent teacher of
proven records, s/he will have the ability to attract and supervise
graduate students while engendering energy and commitment within the
undergraduate population.

As the holder of this prestigious position of University Scholar, the

for achieving international recognition; a scholar/practitioner who can
bring a clearly articulated vision to the development of a new program
in applied Theatre within the Department of Theatre, Faculty of Fine
Arts, at the University of Victoria.
