Interest in play is experiencing a renaissance, with much been written in academic journals and discussed in professional and social media. Tatiana Zakharova, an emerging scholar pursuing her doctorate at Western University (London, Canada) is among those interested in play. With a background in design, Tatiana looks at materiality of play through the feminist practice of “misreading to produce a reading” (Jagodzinski, 1992, p. 172). That is, instead of holding up play as an entity and an idea so solid that it even has a public “profile” that needs raising, Tatiana’s proposition is to tease play apart into moments that may be entirely insignificant or subject-forming, that may be joyous or violent, that may open possibilities or may be propping up chaos and indeterminacy. This talk will be in dialogue with Justine Chambers who will engage with Tatiana’s propositions in diffractive ways from her perspective as a dancer, choreographer and mother.Tatiana Zakharova will introduce her research on play and Justine Chambers will introduce her artistic practice. Together they will present a dialogue as an invitation to reimagine our relations to play.
Tatiana Zakharova is a playground designer, and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at the Faculty of Education at Western University (London, ON). In her multidisciplinary work, Tatiana thinks with feminist posthuman scholars to trouble the notion of play as a means of progress, imagining instead relationship-attuned play as worlding. With gratitude, Tatiana lives, walks, plays, and writes on the traditional territories of the Anishnabek, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples.Justine A. Chambers is a dance artist living and working on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the Skwxwú7mesh, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Her movement-based practice considers how choreography can be an empathic practice rooted in collaborative creation, close observation, and the body as a site of a cumulative embodied archive. Privileging what is felt over what is seen, she works with dances that are already there – the social choreographies present in the everyday. Chambers is Max Tyler-Hite’s mother.

The Health Research Training Platform (HRTP) Pilot funding opportunity is intended to support the development of interdisciplinary, inter-jurisdictional, and intersectoralresearch training platforms that will attract a diverse cadre of high-caliber trainees and ECRs, and equip them with the skills required for academic and non-academic careers. These research training platform grants can be used to build capacity in established or emerging areas, within the scope of the research training areas identified in the funding pools outlined below.
Funded platforms are expected to:
support comprehensive training by engaging academic, non-academic and knowledge user mentors from across a variety of disciplines, sectors, and jurisdictions; promote a greater understanding of emerging research and knowledge exchange approaches; increase training and professional development in support of sustainable career trajectories; and consider best practices in equity, diversity and inclusion(EDI) within the platform team and environment.
These training platforms must demonstrate a value-add, and provide training and mentoring opportunities that demonstrate functions that go above and beyond standard research training programs trainees typically experience.
