Social Justice Week 2019: Panel Session 2

Shakespearean Social Justice

Shakespearean Social Justice 
Natalie Eschenbaum, Rebekah Fowler, Ryan Friesen, and Lalita Hogan (English)

As a famous and celebrated "dead white male," Shakespeare has a lot of power in our culture. Sometimes students quickly dismiss him as a misogynist racist, but when instructors push them to analysis and engagement, instead of dismissal, they discover a very different Shakespeare: one who can be used to make arguments against misogynistic and racist thinking in our contemporary time. Each roundtable leader will demonstrate how this canonical icon can be--indeed, must be--read as a means to see positive social change in the world. Our examples will lead to a broader discussion about the place of literary study in the "Diversity and Inclusion" pillar of UWL's strategic plan.
