Drama Research Methods - Provocations of Practice
This conversation between Drs. Christine Hatton, Richard Sallis and I addresses our new book. The text aims to address the methodological, interpretive, ethical/procedural challenges and tensions within theatre-based research with a goal of elevating our field’s research practice and inquiry. Each chapter embraces various methodologies, positionalities and examples of mediation by inviting two or more leading researchers to interrogated each other’s work and, in so doing, highlighted current debates and practices in theatre-based research. Topics include: ethics, method, audience, purpose, mediation, form, aesthetics, voice, data generation, and research participants. Each chapter frames a critical dialogue between researchers that take multiple forms (dialogic interlude, research conversation, dramatic narrative, duologue, poetic exchange, etc.). We try to capture these tensions and topics in our conversation as we set to untangle a few issues in our rich and complex field. https://brill.com/view/title/39592?lang=en
Cognition and Drama
In this episode Patrice Baldwin, Xan Johnson, and I talk about embodiment, imagination, play, emotion, writing, and what we know from research. The conversation is expansive and invites listeners to reflect on their own drama experiences and, perhaps, turn to science research to help illucidate the power of embodied pedagogies and the fictional worlds of the imagination.

Dr. Kathleen Gallagher and a Pedagogy of the Real
This conversation was held via Skype between Kathleen's home in Toronto, Canada and mine in Columbia, South Carolina in the US. We had a wide ranging conversation about research, the role of the researcher, the inclusion of youth as co-researchers in projects and the Theatre of the Real. Much of this conversation was based on her book, "Why Theatre Matters: Urban Youth Engagement, and a Pedagogy of the Real." It is an excellent read and one that will certainly challenge and excite practitioners.
A Celebration of 20 Years of RIDE
This episode is a conversation with Dr. Helen Nicholson, the chief editor of Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance. In this semi-structured interview, we discuss the history of the journal, ways that the journal has helped shape and has been shaped by the field of drama research and how the journal has influenced Dr. Nicholson's own work. It was a delight to be able to speak with her and I am grateful for her generosity in putting this episode together.
