The Women & Theatre Program [1] (WTP) invites submissions for its Debut Panel at the 2007 conference [2]. This panel is open to students, practitioners and junior faculty who have not presented at a national conference.

The topic of your presentation can be any subject concerning women and performance, although it may be helpful to know that this year - in consideration of the site of the conference - WTP will be focusing particularly on the issue of traces, fragments, reconstructions, reverberations of loss, and strategies of renewal and reconstruction.

Three to four papers will be selected for WTP's Debut Panel, and a senior scholar from WTP will serve as respondent. To submit, please send a 250 word abstract in an email with the subject heading "WTP Debut Panel" to Erica Stevens Abbitt at esabbitt@uwindsor.ca by Friday, March 16th.

PLEASE NOTE: The Women and Theatre Program is a focus group with a strong commitment to the intersections of theory and practice. We recently celebrated a quarter century of activism and advocacy for women in theatre. Graduate students, junior faculty and emerging scholar/practitioners are strongly encouraged to participate in WTP, from WTP-sponsored panels and events at ATHE 2007, to the upcoming WTP conference at NOCCA. For more information on graduate student participation, please contact Julie Vogt at jvogt@wisc.edu. Visit the WTP website. [3]
