The SCUDD Conference this year will be hosted by the University of Lincoln - 26-27 March ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [ STR Research Awards The Society for Theatre Research has invited applications for awards from its research fund for the academic year 2009-2010. It is expected that a sum in the region of £6,000 will be available; this will include one or two awards of up to £1,000, named after generous benefactors to the Society, and a number of smaller awards, normally in the range £200-£500. No restriction is imposed on the status or nationality of applicants, nor on the location of the proposed research. However, the topic must be substantially concerned with one or more of the history, historiography, art, and practice of the British theatre (including music-hall, opera, dance, and associated skills and crafts of performance). Exclusively textual, literary or aesthetic topics are not eligible, nor are applications for course fees unless for specific professional training in research techniques. The Awards are not given wholly or principally for general subsistence. In coming to a decision the Research Awards Sub-Committee of the Society will take into account the progress already made by the applicant, and the possible availability of other subvention. Applicants are required to give information under the following headings: PROJECT: a statement of the project for which the award is requested, and the stage of completion currently reached. PURPOSE OF THE AWARD: the specific purpose or purposes for which the award would be used, with an indication of approximate costing. QUALIFICATIONS: the applicant's competence to undertake the project, academic and/or practical. together with details of any relevant publications or other relevant experience. If desired, a more comprehensive C.V. abstract rnay be attached on a single separate sheet. CIRCUMSTANCES: any other funding for the work and period in question for example study leave or grants from other sources; Unsalaried candidates may indicate here something of their age and personal situation if they wish. OTHER: any further appropriate information that the applicant may wish to offer. NOTE: Where subvention towards publication is desired, confirmation of publisher's interest should be provided. Applicants seeking professional training in research techniques should provide evidence of their eligibility for such training; details of the established training scheme in question, and firmness or otherwise of the offer of a place. No actual examples of published work or similar documentation should be submitted at this stage; however, candidates may indicate if such examples could be made available if requested. All applicants must provide one recent and relevant testimonial from an authoritative source to accompany their applications (please post as soon as possible to Society for Theatre Research, PO Box 53971, London SW15 6UL), and the name and address of one further referee from whom support for the application may be obtained. Closing date for receipt of applications: 16th January 2010. The Society's scrutiny and decision process is careful and lengthy. Applicants should not expect to be informed of the result before late April. Awards will be officially announced at the Society's Annual General Meeting, on Tuesday, 18th May, 2010, at the Art Workers' Guild, 6 Queen Square, London WC1. Award winners are encouraged to attend if they can. Awards will be paid in sterling. The Society stipulates that it cannot accept financial or other responsibility for award-winners beyond the amount granted. ______________ To join, leave or suspend list postings, visit www.scudd.org.uk/list ______________
