Description

This session of papers includes submissions from scholars new to early drama studies (graduate students and PhDs within 4 years from the degree). The MRDS showcases annually the work of scholars new to the field and provides an opportunity for experienced scholars to support and respond to their work, mentor those young in the field, and welcome all to early drama studies.
