The 2013 conference of the Canadian Association for Theatre Research (CATR) will take place at the University of Victoria, June 1- 4, as part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The theme of the 2013 Congress is @ the edge / a la fine pointe.

The mandate of the Association is to support and encourage research in theatre and performance studies. All presenters are invited to address the Congress theme; however, proposals that depart from the official Congress theme will also be accepted. Graduate students are encouraged to apply.

There will be a number of sessions featuring grouped 20-minute papers. To be considered for an open paper presentation, please submit a 300-word abstract outlining your research, its context and its significance along with a short bio to Allana C. Lindgren, chair of the conference planning committee, at aclind@uvic.ca by December 10, 2012.
