Edited by Miriam Chirico and Kelly Younger<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The origins for this book can be traced to a workshop held in 2014 at the Comparative Drama Conference and led by Kelly Younger (Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles) and Miriam Chirico (Eastern Connecticut State University).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the clear interest of professors of theatre and dramatic literature to share their teaching techniques and hear about the techniques of their peers, Chirico and Younger, after a few more years of workshops, collated presentations from the conference as well as from around the world to craft this first of its kind, pedagogical text for teachers of drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
