Larry O'Farrell Earns Lifetime Achievement award
On Friday, July 29, 2011, in a ceremony held in Chicago, Illinois, the American Alliance for Theatre and Education awarded the Campton Bell Lifetime Achievement Award (honouring an individual for a lifetime of outstanding contributions to the field of theatre education) to Professor Larry O’Farrell.
Larry O'Farrell, UNESCO Chair in Arts and Learning
Professor O’Farrell holds the UNESCO Chair in Arts and Learning in the Faculty of Education. The award recognized his achievements in teaching, research and leadership at the national and international levels.
Speaking for nominators from around the world, Dr. Laura A. McCammon (University of Arizona) wrote:
“For over 40 years, Larry has made significant contributions to drama/theatre teaching and learning and teacher education; the promotion of arts education research; and the development of international arts education awareness and advocacy.”
Writing in support of the nomination, Dr. Debra McLaughlin (Brock University) said of his international leadership:
“I believe one of Larry’s greatest strengths to be his ability to bring people of various backgrounds and nationalities together for a common goal or purpose . . . Larry has collaborated on large-scale research projects with participants from various continents. He has presented papers and worked arduously on policy documents with partners from across the globe. As a speaker, he has addressed audiences and won esteemed recognition around the world. As an advocate for the arts in education on an international scale, I believe Larry to be in a class of his own.”
