Dorothy Heathcote Now 2023 Conference has come to an end...
Watch out for Dorothy Heathcote Now 2024!

Dorothy Heathcote was ahead of her time. Her work continues to provide models, inspiration, and challenges. Her vision of a revolution in the way we think about education seems even more urgent now than ever.
CALL FOR PAPERS: “DRAMA CONVENTIONS IN EDUCATIONAL AND APPLIED SETTINGS”
​
At the Dorothy Heathcote Now International Drama Conference 2023, we looked at the use of drama conventions in different contexts.
​
We are now working on a special edition of the journal Education in the North.
We are looking for articles and features that will add to the discussion. Topics might include:
​
-
Applications and uses of conventions in different contexts
-
How conventions draw on theatre form
-
Uses of Heathcote’s conventions in Mantle of the Expert
We anticipate that the issue will include not only academic texts, but also pieces by teachers and drama practitioners who might take a more practical approach.
Different types of submission are possible:
​
- Articles (up to 8000 words)
- Features (up to 4000 words)

Submission Deadlines:
1. Expression of interest and 500-word abstract by 31 October 2023
2. Submission of manuscript by 19 January 2024.
