Call for Abstracts on “New Directions on Improvisation”
For the 2018 Comparative Drama Conference, there will be a sub-theme of improv running through the three days. On Thursday night we will be attending an improv performance at SAK Comedy Lab. On Saturday afternoon there will be a plenary dedicated to improv. To round out the conference, we invite papers for either a panel (or if we get enough interest a round table) on new directions in improv, as we look to consider how improv pushes boundaries within performance, the process of dramatic creation, and the text.
Some possible topics to consider (but definitely not limited to):

The Plays of Simon Stephens
The 42nd Comparative Drama Conference will feature Simon Stephens as its Keynote Speaker on April 6, 2018 and in honor of his appearance we will offer panels on his plays.
While we welcome papers on any aspect of Stephens’s plays, some possible topics to explore include:

Simon Stephens as an adapter (Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, A Doll’s House, The Seagull)
Comparing Pornography (Stephens’s 7/7 play) to 9/11 plays
Politics in the plays of Simon Stephens
Proposal Guidelines
The expansion of bilingual and multilingual education in an increasingly globalised world involves a series of intrinsic challenges to which both teachers and students respond with changes and innovations – technological, methodological or procedural – with respect to the traditional model of learning-teaching. In parallel with this, it also offers an interesting field of study to undertake research into the learning of a language in all its domains – linguistic, social, or cultural – not only from theoretical approaches, but also in order to uncover areas of improvement and good practice.

The art, history, literature, and philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome serve as the foundation of Western civilization. While the Classics have had a tremendous influence on subsequent cultures, the academy frequently keeps the discipline of Classics separate from modern literatures and languages. Yet the Classics have always been an integral part of cultural productions and the university itself; the word “academy” even has its origins in Plato. This roundtable will explore the current state of Classics scholarship, focusing on Classics as an area of study as well as its place in contemporary academia. Possible approaches include:
· Defining the Classics
· Current research trends in Classics scholarship
