Description
This grant program, offered by the American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR), is designed to address disparities in research resources among institutions and to foster scholarly exchange in theatre studies. The grant specifically supports faculty members at institutions where teaching and service obligations are high and institutional research support is limited. The goal is to ensure that institutional affiliation does not prevent faculty from contributing to broader conversations and scholarship within theatre studies, in line with ASTR’s mission.
