Theatre Studies at Glasgow
Theatre Studies at the University of Glasgow is committed to producing world-leading research and scholarship that examines the aesthetic, socio-political, historical and ethical dimensions of theatre as a cultural practice. Interdisciplinary in orientation, we understand theatre and performance as unique objects of study, and as powerful lenses for thinking about questions of knowledge, meaning and value. Current themes of interest include ecology and environment, digital culture, gender and sexuality, disability studies, justice and equity, class, post-colonialism, cultural policy, archival studies and historiography. We embrace a wide range of research methods, including practice research, and support innovative outcomes that encompass books, essays, performances, installations, films, websites and other hybrid forms. We aim to make a research-led contribution to the expanded field of theatre and performance studies, informing social and cultural change.
