Selected Works of Kim Solga

Professor of Drama, Theatre and Performance Theory, Department of English and Writing Studies

I’m a teacher who is also a scholar. I’m a feminist who recognizes the complexity of that term – and is still a feminist. 

I work on modern feminist performance, on early modern performance and its contemporary iterations, and on contemporary urban performance and its neoliberal resonances. 

If I could not collaborate with artists, students, and colleagues on a regular basis, I would probably quit my job. 

My students are my favourite collaborators. (Teaching is a collaborative practice, after all.)

I’m currently the general editor of Theatre Research in Canada / Recherches théâtrales au Canada. I also write a teaching blog, The Activist Classroom; it’s a labour of love. Find me at http://theactivistclassroom.wordpress.com. 

I am happy to chat with graduate students about supervising dissertations in the following fields: contemporary theatre and performance; performance theory; feminist or queer performance theory and practice; early modern theatre; early modern performance studies. 

As an affiliate of the Department of Women’s Studies and Feminist Research, I’m also happy to be involved with dissertation projects engaged with feminist, gender, and sexuality studies that may not immediately focus on theatre or performance.

Thanks for visiting!
