The 2nd International Conference of Young Researchers on Theatre Studies (in Spanish Congreso Internacional de Jóvenes Investigadores en Estudios Teatrales, CIJIET) will be held on 25, 26 and 27 October 2017 at the Universidad de Murcia (Spain). After the fruitful first edition of the conference last year, this new edition pursues to establish CIJIET as a referent for new researchers on the field of theatre studies. Apart from the plenary sessions by consolidated researchers and papers by new ones, this new edition includes a call for panels in order to examine specific issues in more depth. In the attempt to bring research and practice together, the programme will also feature activities such as performances or Open Mic sessions. After the first edition, it is now time to start CIJIET?s second act. Welcome to this new performance.
