ABSTRACT This essay contributes to interdisciplinary conversations about the positioning and future of performance studies within US higher education. Through an atypical research method for the field – content analysis – we provide an alternative angle from which to view our collective work in this contemporary moment. Our research includes coding and analysis of 650 webpages obtained from official websites of four-year US institutions, producing a topographical map of performance studies. Our findings suggest that PS is an interdisciplinary field situated in multiple theoretical, institutional, and geographic locations that features various tensions in focus and scope.
