You are invited to join the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center's new research focus group: "What is a Shakespeare: Shakespeare and Global Media."

"What Is a Shakespeare?: Shakespeare and Global Media" is an interdisciplinary group of graduate students and faculty focused on investigating the notion of 'global Shakespeare.' The group is interested in understanding both the ways that Shakespeare has been adapted in a global context and how an emphasis on Shakespeare has obscured other valuable insights culturally, socially, theoretically, and politically. As a versatile team of scholars and practitioners, they are invested in rethinking Shakespeare and his current global resonances in a multitude of intersecting ways. The group is not simply interested in theoretical considerations of how one might interpret global Shakespeares, but also how one might perform, experience, or teach global Shakespeares.

Join one of two "Getting to Know You" events via Zoom next week to learn more about how you can participate: Tuesday October 5th at 4pm or Thursday October 7th at 11am
