ABSTRACT

Runner: Our last presenter in this session on drama work in dissertations is Dr. Warren Linds. He was an instructor in the Faculty of Education, University of Regina and in the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program. He is currently an Assistant Professor in Applied Human Sciences at Concordia University. His doctorate is another one from the University of British Columbia, which seems to be, along with Fielding Graduate University, the source of many of our most creative dissertations being represented here. His interests are in the facilitation and development of transformative drama processes through a performative writing and research methodology. He is also interested in the exploration of drama as an anti-racist pedagogy and how embodied and reflective experiences of improvisation in teaching are developed. Among other publications, he is a co-editor of the 2001 text, Unfolding Bodymind: Exploring Possibility Through Education. Warren.
