SHE/HER
Molly Mullen, Phd., is a senior lecturer in applied theatre at Waipapa Taumata Rau: University of Auckland. Molly worked for ten years producing theatre education, youth theatre and community arts projects in the UK before moving to Aotearoa New Zealand. Her research focuses on the relationship between the arts and social, economic and environmental justice. Her book, Applied Theatre: Economies, examines the ways socially committed theatre makers fund, finance or otherwise resource their work and, in doing so, negotiate tensions between economic, political, aesthetic, pedagogic and ethical values. Molly is currently part of two National Science Challenge projects exploring the potential of the arts to raise public awareness of plant pathogens.
