Tamara Trojanowska
A graduate of the Drama Centre at the University of Toronto (PhD) and of Theatre Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (MA), Tamara Trojanowska has also formerly held an Oxford University scholarship and an internship at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. She has taught at universities in Poland, Canada, and the United States, returning to University of Toronto as a faculty member in 1998. Since then, she has directed the Polish Language and Literature Program at the Slavic Department, strengthening in strides its profile and presence in North America, as well as the University College Drama Program (2008-2012). In 2012, together with Stephen Johnson, then director of the Graduate Drama Centre, she integrated the two units to form the Center for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies, with which she is cross-appointed. She now serves as Director of the Centre where she co-founded the BMO Lab in Creative Research in the Arts, Performance, Emerging Technologies and AI.
Her current research focuses on the intersections of drama and theatre with history, philosophy, and religious thought, and emphasizes issues of identity and transgression, topics that she has published on in Poland, Canada, United States, and England. Alongside her continuing research and administrative work, Trojanowska also sits on the Advisory Boards of a number of professional journals, including Didaskalia (Jagiellonian University, Kraków), Polish Theatre Perspective (UK), Postscriptum (Silesian University, Poland), The Sarmatian Review (Rice University), and Teksty Drugie (Kraków). She is also a member of the Management Board of Theatre Research in Canada.

Book Chapters by Tamara Trojanowska
this book despite the uncertainty of their future cultural standing. This trajectory reflects a crucial assumption of this project – that what is happening in Polish culture as this book goes to press is just as relevant as what has been historically validated as canonical. Such a view is rare in most traditional literary histories, as exemplified by the above-mentioned works of Kridl, Miłosz, and Krzyżanowski.
