On TAP is a three-headed, freewheeling conversation about topics of current interest to graduate students, professors, independent scholars, and all those interested in academic Theatre and Performance Studies. Each edition features established scholars in Theatre and Performance Studies chatting about several topics of field-wide interest, including trends in ideas and scholarly methods, pedagogy, career development, notable developments in research, publishing and hiring, and news-worthy events. Something like a cross between a casual faculty seminar and an impromptu conversation at a conference hotel bar, On TAP features knowledgeable scholars discussing a rapidly evolving field of knowledge. It is not peer-reviewed.
