Open Seminar “Developing and Sustaining MIT’s Global Shakespeares: challenges and new possibilities for humanities research in the digital age”

This open seminar will address both the challenges and new research methods involved in creating what is known collectively as the MIT Global Shakespeare Project (https://shakespeareproject.mit.edu/). Since 1992, MIT’s Literature faculty have been developing and maintaining digital environments for teaching and research involving Shakespeare, with a particular emphasis on enlarging access and understanding of diverse perspectives around the world. As co-leader of the MIT Global Shakespeares Curriculum Initiative, Professor Diana E. Henderson will share with students and the wider academic community some lessons learned through these endeavors.
