Reimagining Shakespeare Education by Liam E Semler
This book is for everyone interested in Shakespeare education and collaborative pedagogy in the twenty-first century. Leaders of innovative projects from around the world explain how they engage with schools, universities, prisons and communities to address topics including citizenship, disability, gender, intercultural learning and digitisation.
'What I admire about Reimagining Shakespeare Education is the line it treads between critique and possibilityShakespeare is both the problem, and, as these creative, inclusive and self-aware projects demonstrate, the potential solution. Anyone picking up this book will find something new and stimulating, and often moving, about the ways Shakespeare can be deployed with different cohorts in different settings.' Emma Smith, Oxford University
'This lively, diverse collection provides both a wide-ranging survey of contemporary pedagogical engagements with Shakespeare and a state-of-the-field overview of critical, theoretical, and practical work on Shakespeare and performance. It will be a valuable resource for all teachers, students, and theatre-makers who are interested in the origins and the future of the media and institutions through which we encounter, create, and disseminate Shakespeare's plays and new knowledge about them.' Jeremy Lopez, University of Toronto
