The International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation brings together a dynamic international research team of 58 scholars from 30 academic institutions. The project team includes postdoctoral fellows, students, research associates, as well as over 40 community research partners. Currently, there are eight formal research sites: University of Guelph; Carleton University; McGill University; Memorial University; Queen’s University Belfast; 17, Institute of Critical Studies; University of British Columbia; and University of Regina. Below are the Research Team members involved in some capacity during some or all of the grant periods listed below.
Improvising Futures (IF) is a 5-year SSHRC-Funded Partnership Grant (2022-2027), housed at the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI) at Guelph University, that asks questions about the future of our world: can we improve the social, environmental, cultural, and spiritual well-being of everyone through improvisatory practices? IF builds on work carried out previously by IICSI, namely through the ICASP project (Improvisation, Community and Social Practice, 2007-2012) and our previous partnership grant (2012-2022), through which we established IICSI.
