Abstract

This activity focuses on Shakespeare, race, and educational institutions, and might be particularly useful for those teaching at HBCUs and MSIs. This archival research activity prepares students to think about Shakespeare performance (specifically The Taming of the Shrew) in segregated places and includes questions for reflection and discussion that prepare students for a paper (Assignment 1). While it draws specifically on resources available in the Atlanta University Center consortium’s library, it should be adaptable for many different institutions and settings, as it asks students to consider race, gender, and adaptation as valences in interpreting Shakespeare.
