Episode 1 of ASMN 5.0 (Introduction and the Journey into Grantsmanship)

This is the session for the Virtual Grant Writing series hosted by the DePECOS Institutions and Development Research Centre (DIaDeRC).  This series is unique because it embodies the crux of the African Scholars Mentorship Network (ASMN) series – collaboration. DIaDeRC signed an MoU with the Centre for Socially Engaged Theatre (C-SET) of the University of Regina, and they are collaborating to organise ASMN 5.0.  The Director of C-SET is our co-host and facilitator, and Prof Evans Osabuohien is the host.

Dr Taiwo Afolabi holds the Canada Research Chair in Socially Engaged Theatre, Director, Centre for Socially Engaged Theatre (C-SET), and is an Assistant Professor at the University of Regina. He is an artist, qualitative researcher, theatre manager, applied theatre practitioner and educator with a decade of experience working across a variety of creative and community contexts in over a dozen countries across four continents. He researches, creates works, performs, and teaches at the intersection of performance and human ecology. His research interests lie in the areas of applied theatre and policing, social justice, decolonization, art leadership and management, migration, and the ethics of conducting arts-based research. Dr. Afolabi has co-edited two books and published articles in various books and reputable journals. He is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Johannesburg (South Africa) and the founding artistic director of Theatre Emissary International.
