SJP 2014 - The Scottish Journal of Performance

The Scottish Journal of Performance is a new peer-reviewed Open Access journal which promotes and stimulates discussion, development and dissemination of original research, focusing both on performance in Scotland (contemporary and historical) and / or wider aspects of performance presented by scholars and reflective practitioners based in Scotland. We invite contributions from a wide and diverse community of researchers, providing opportunities for both established and early career scholars to submit work. We encourage a wide range of research methods and approaches, including practice-led research and practice as research. The first issue is currently in review and will be published in December 2013.
We welcome submissions for our second issue. Possible submission formats include audio and video recordings with commentary, practitioner reports, reflective journals and scholarly articles.
Performance in this context encompasses a wide range of arts and entertainment and takes as central themes dance, drama, film, music and television. The research field of the Scottish Journal of Performance takes as a key focus the creation and execution of performance in various contexts. Examples include the role and value of performance, performance education, teaching and learning in performance, theory and practice, performance psychology, community performance, performance in society (class, economics, ethnicity, gender, religion), youth performance, performance aesthetics, research methods and methodologies. This list is not intended to be exhaustive.
For more information on the suitability of submissions, please contact the Editors: editors-AT-scottishjournalofperformance.org.
The Scottish Journal of Performance is supported by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the University of St Andrews.
