Shakespeare, Race & Pedagogy
By Wendy Lennon @writerlennon
UnlistedShakespeare, Race & Pedagogy is a five-day, free, online event which seeks to share, celebrate, and reinvigorate approaches to the teaching and study of Shakespeare's plays.
Bringing together contributions from international scholars, teachers, students, and our multilingual communities to investigate Shakespeare's plays and their place in our classrooms. Exploring a range of mediums including translations, the Everything to Everybody collection, and British Sign Language in the classroom as exciting opportunities to teach, study, and enjoy Shakespeare's plays.
Revisiting and building upon international scholarship, research, and education, Shakespeare, Race & Pedagogy aims to challenge perceptions and address the contextual complexities of language and race, creating a dialogue between the past and the present to include and inspire our current and future scholars, students, teachers.
To coincide with the event, there is an essay competition which is open to current postgraduate students. Please visit: www.shakeracepedagogy.com for competition details and an entry form.
This event and essay competition is in association with Shakespeare Survey and Elements in Shakespeare and Pedagogy and is sponsored by Cambridge University Press.
