Professor Trish Reid

I am a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and have a history of leading projects in Learning and Teaching. I’m particularly interested in inclusive and anti-racist pedagogies, and in supporting students who come to higher education via non-traditional routes.

My research focuses on the ways identity politics — gender, ethnicity, nationality and class — intersect with politics more generally on contemporary stages. I have published widely on contemporary British theatre and on aspects of the history and practice of theatre in Scotland, in particular. I am the author of theatre & scotland (Palgrave, 2013) and The Theatre of Anthony Neilson (Bloomsbury, 2017).

With Professor Liz Tomlin (Glasgow), I am co-editor of the new Cambridge University Press series, Elements in Theatre, Performance and the Political. I am also co-editing the forthcoming Routledge Companion to Twentieth-Century British Theatre (2023). Both projects aim to challenge dominant narratives of theatre history by including diverse and previously marginalised voices.
