Description:
|
This digital humanities (DH) project focuses on Black studies and Shakespearean studies from a multidisciplinary approach. As an open-access educational resource (OER), Blackspeare focuses on presenting the topics of race and Shakespeare through the form of a teacher’s guide. The teacher guide format allows for free, inclusive, and accessible forms of curriculum to be compiled and shared amongst post-secondary educators. The purpose of this project is to make teaching the subject of race and race-making within Shakespeare more accessible not only to pre-modern scholars but also scholars across the humanities. |
