At CATR 2012, the “Chasm or Crossroads?” seminar brought together a group of scholars based in Canada, the US, and New<br />
Zealand to discuss how to bridge what our colleague Glen Nichols <strong>de</strong>scribes as the chasm that has been driven between<br />
teaching and research in the aca<strong>de</strong>my.” Each participant committed to carrying out a project <strong>de</strong>signed to link teaching and<br />
research in their classrooms and to participating in an online discussion in the six months leading up to the conference; and at<br />
the conference we shared some of our work with the CATR community. Building on the success of this venture, I propose a<br />
new, improved version for 2013, which will be more structured, more ambitious, and more engaged with scholarship on<br />
teaching and learning.<br />
This seminar seeks productive and innovative ways of reintegrating teaching and research by exploiting the fact that our<br />
discipline—to a much greater extent than most—constitutes not only a field of knowledge to be taught and researched, but<br />
also a medium for both teaching and research. Moreover, it will encourage participants to think reflexively about the innovative<br />
experiments we already when we plan or <strong>de</strong>liver new material—but which, in the absence of a formal opportunity to reflect and<br />
discuss with colleagues, we often neglect to document, evaluate and disseminate.<br />
As in 2013, participants will focus on building bridges between teaching (and learning) and research in post-secondary<br />
theatre contexts, and will share resources and discuss i<strong>de</strong>as using a blog. This year, though, we will put more emphasis on<br />
engaging with scholarship on teaching and learning, and on contributing to that research as individuals and as a group. We will<br />
continue to host an open discussion with the CATR community, but we will also focus on <strong>de</strong>veloping individual research<br />
outputs that link theatre, teaching, and learning.<br />
