Congratulations to our collaborator. Dr.Urvashi Sahni, for being named one of Asia’s Most Influential people. Dr. Sahni is a women’s rights activist, CEO and founder of Study Hall Educational Foundation in India, which offers educational programs for vulnerable young people.

Artists for Real Climate Action is a non-partisan, ever-growing collection of actors, filmmakers, writers, musicians, playwrights, graphic designers, directors, and digital marketing folks all sounding the alarm over our climate crisis.

In this article, Dr. Kathleen Gallagher, with graduate students Christine Balt, Nancy Cardwell & Brooke Charlebois, engage with the sudden pivot to online learning and research, revealing a complex portrait of youth, connection, and the digital world at a time of physical distancing; and reflecting on what drama practices might be mobilised to invite intimacy into online learning.

Our friend Shree Paradkar has won two prizes at the Amnesty International Media awards – for best long story and best short video for her story on Prerna. Delighted that this excellent journalism brings further recognition to Urvashi Sahni and the powerful pedagogy at Prerna Girls' School.

Dr. Gallagher discussed her international, multi-sited and collaborative research project (Youth, Theatre, Radical Hope and the Ethical Imaginary: an intercultural investigation of drama pedagogy, performance and civic engagement) with the lead researcher from the Coventry site, Dr. Rachel Turner-King. Chaired by Professor Jonothon Neelands.

Dr. Gallagher offered two 'teach out' events at King's College, London, sharing some scenes from Kushnir's Towards Youth: A Play on Radical Hope and discussing connections between her research and wider political contexts by focusing on issues of solidarity, care and hope.

Dr. Gallagher was one of ten new Fellows selected to share her research in a "Lightning Talk" at the RSC Café.

Dr. Kathleen Gallagher joins the CBC's Alain Neal to explore creative ways of teaching young, critical thinkers.

Dr. Kathleen Gallagher was the convocation speaker at #UofTGrad19 for the School of Graduate Studies & Rotman (graduate programs)
