Doctoral students may propose and pursue research projects on a wide variety of topics: from the history of Applied Theatre to the devising of contemporary plays that explore pressing social issues, from the educational uses of theatre in school to broader applications within the wider community, from theatre for young audiences to reminiscence and intergenerational theatre, from theatre in conflict and post-conflict zones to the uses of theatre with refugees and internally-displaced persons, and, from theatre for social justice to indigenous language revitalization initiatives.
