Description
The Co-Sponsored Events Awards from the American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR) are designed to support collaborative events—such as conferences, symposia, colloquia, and summits—that advance scholarship in theatre and performance studies. These awards primarily provide the endorsement of ASTR, with limited monetary support (up to $500) available only in exceptional cases. The goal is to foster closer relationships between ASTR and related organizations, increase the visibility of research activities, and fulfill ASTR’s mission to promote scholarship on theatre and performance, both in the U.S. and internationally.
