Higher Education Pre-Conference

Empowering the Future of the Field: Changing Landscapes in Higher Education
in partnership with MDC Live Arts
at MDC Live Arts Lab, Miami, FL

On Tuesday, June 4, 2019, TCG invites you to join us as we bring together higher education faculty, students, administrators, and theatre professionals from across the country to explore themes around changing landscapes in higher education. The format of the day will be experiential and interactive, with opportunities to have cross-pollinating conversation on three main focus areas: 1) Economics of Higher Education; 2) Community, Collaboration, and Partnerships -- both within and outside the field, in the U.S. and abroad; and 3) Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education.  This pre-conference will celebrate the diversity of training models in higher education, and aims to foster connection and community across the field.

What are the ways in which landscapes are shifting in both higher education and the professional field, and how do we help prepare students for, and empower them to help catalyze, that change?
