The Faculty of Arts is pleased to announce that two (2) Early Researcher of the Year Awards have been granted in 2021.

Anne-Marie Ouellet

After earning a doctorate in the study and practice of the arts at the University of Quebec in Montreal in 2013, Anne-Marie Ouellet completed post-doctoral work within a Canada Research Chair examining audible dramaturgy at the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi, before becoming a professor at the University of Ottawa’s Department of Theatre in 2015. She is currently completing a SSHRC-sponsored creative research proposal that considers the ethical and aesthetic dimensions of staging people rather than characters, a modern trend. Her most recent works, namely White Out, La chambre des enfants, Solarium and Le Musée de la famille, are currently being staged in various theatre venues and festivals, both in Canada and abroad.
