Presentations & Public Work
I have written about and given presentations and workshops on the identity politics of embodiment in Shakespearean performance, Shakespeare, race, and pedagogy, and the depiction of minoritarian identities in contemporary Shakespearean adaptations and appropriations for institutions like PBS, Shakespeare’s Globe, the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, an NEH Summer Institute, and a variety of colleges and universities. If you would like me to present or write for you, contact me!
