ICCTE 2010 Conference Review

This past May, the Ninth Biennial Conference of the ICCTE took place at LeTourneau University in Longview Texas. About 75 faculty members from a number of colleges and universities gathered to share their research, to fellowship together and to enjoy the hospitality of colleagues. Every other year our group gathers. In the spring of 2012, we will gather at Azusa Pacific University in the Los Angeles area. I am grateful to colleagues who have worked diligently for about 20 years to provide opportunity for Christian professors of education and in related fields to gather for the purpose of sharing our work and lives with one another

Games and literary theory conference, 2013 : conference review

The Department of English of the University of Malta collaborated with the Institute of Digital Games (University of Malta) to hold the First International Conference on Games and Literary Theory. It ran from the 31st of October to the 1st of November 2013, and was held at the Old University Building, Valletta, Malta. The event proved to be an overwhelmingly smooth and positive experience for all involved. One of the event’s particularly positive aspects was its structure – only one panel at a time with two or three papers each – which admitted fewer papers than is usual for such conferences. In doing so, it gave space for, and indeed generated, a healthy debate after each paper was delivered, allowing both speaker and audience to immerse themselves in the topics at hand.peer-reviewe

Insularity : representations and constructions of small worlds, 2013 : conference review

In November 2013, the Department of German at the University of Malta held its first international interdisciplinary conference, titled ‘Insularity: Representations and Constructions of Small Worlds’. The three-day conference took place at Europe House and the Old University Building, both in Valletta, Malta. Except for the second day, which featured several parallel sessions, the conference panels were grouped on an alternating thematic basis making the panel system as dynamic as possible. Despite the relatively tight schedule, the conference moved along smoothly and showed all the signs of an extremely well-organised, efficient and professional event. This review will attend to some of the main recurring strands of thought that featured throughout the conference accordingly.peer-reviewe

Conference Review: Heroism and the Heroic in Applied and Social Theatre

In March 2014, the TaPRA Applied and Social Theatre Working Group held a research day at the Royal Central School Speech and Drama (RCSSD) exploring the significance and implications of the notion of heroism in socially engaged theatre practice. Heroism as a theme emerged from discussions at the end of the last annual TaPRA conference in Glasgow in 2013, which led the working group convenors (Sylvan Baker, Dave Calvert, Alison Jeffers & Katharine Low) into discussions on risk and bravery in applied and social theatre from which have emerged ideas about care and protection, both of participants and of practitioners. Another strong theme to emerge from our conversations on heroism was the notion of leadership; different models of leadership, and changing perceptions of self in leadership roles. Is heroism always epic or can we identify small acts of everyday heroism and is it at all helpful to think in these terms? Does thinking about heroism lead to a certain romanticisation of applied theatre
