Description of  Toward a Just Pedagogy of Performance: Historiography, Narrative, and Equity in Dramatic Practice (Routledge Series in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Theatre and Performance)

1032138319 epub This book is a compendium of resources largely by and for artists and scholars interested in engaging in conversations of justice, diversity, and historiography in the fields of theatre and performance studies. For these students, and for the future instructors in our field who will use this book, we hold a tripartite hope: to expand, to enable, and to provide access. In its whole, we intend for this book to provoke its readers to question the narratives of history that theyve received (and that they may promulgate) in their artistic and scholarly work. We aim to question methods and ethics of reading present in the western mode of studying drama and performance history. The contributions in the booknot traditional chapters, but manifestos, experiences, articles, conversations, and provocationsraise questions and illuminate gaps, and they do not speak in a unified voice or from a static position. These pieces are written by artists, graduate students, teachers, administrators, and undergraduates these are expressions of hope and of experience, and not of dogma.
