Supervising degrees
More information
Working with this supervisor
I welcome inquiries from students applying to Drama's 'Theatre Studies' or 'Interdisciplinary Research and Creation' MFA specializations as well as the PhD and Masters programs in Computational Media Design. I enjoy working with students who have strong academic abilities, or a combination of academic and artistic skills, and wish to produce both scholarly and artistic knowledge that can make a difference and be applied. Students pursuing interdisciplinary work will find me open to working with a co-supervisor from another department and discipline. While I supervise a broad range of subjects, I am particularly interested in students who wish to pursue empirical and/or artistic thesis research on a performing arts psychology or dramaturgy topic involving access deserving populations.
