Students have always been at the forefront of unsettling these colonial institutions.

It hurts my heart how many US universities tell students to 'prove to us that you will be an ethical, moral hero who will stand for what's right above and beyond all others' in their admissions essays just to get in, then will punish them when they do just that on campus.

Please join us to discuss Shax, social justice, and developing a curriculum with the community in mind.

Our fantastic co-founder Katherine Gillen 🍉 will discuss teaching Borderlands Shakespeare in San Antonio, drawing from the insightful essay by Kate and Kathryn Vomero Santos.

So excited that this year's Folger Shakespeare Library #Shakespeare 's birthday lecture,“The Goodness of the Night: Editing Othello” delivered by Patricia Akhimie on 4/27 @ 7pm will be live-streamed for those of us who can't travel! #RaceB4Race #ShakeRace #PCRS

New episode!

There’s a petition circulating urging USC to reconsider and reinstate Asna’s commencement speech. We must stand with her. Please sign and share widely.

Israeli just bombed a playground, killing 11 children instantly and wounding dozens more. I feel like I am losing my mind in how this simply doesn't break through to mainstream media or electoral politics. It is brushed aside as business as usual.

Honestly, it’s just very infuriating to see an increase in discourse from people say they don’t like children at the same time tens of thousands of children have been slaughtered in Palestine. The two are absolutely connected whether you want to realize it or not.

Thrilled to have a contract with Methuen Drama to work on plays by the incisive Caridad Svich!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to create an anthology of Shakespeare reimaginings by Guggenheim-winning playwright Caridad Svich for Methuen Drama!

✨Congratulations to Caridad Svich for receiving a Guggenheim fellowship!! Also, Dr. Vanessa I. Corredera, Kathryn Vomero Santos, and I thought this would be an auspicious time to share that we've just signed a contract with Methuen Drama to edit an anthology of Caridad's Shakespeare reimaginings!✨

Congrats to authors Caridad Svich and Emily Wilcox who have been named 2024 Guggenheim Fellows in Drama & Performance Studies and Dance Studies respectively!

People ask why I change “Gazans” to “Palestinians.”

You can see NYT avoids saying it intentionally because it serves the Israeli goal of erasing the Palestinian national identity, which is inextricably tied to their struggle for self-determination.

We are so glad Borderlands Shakespeare Colectiva co-founders Kathryn Vomero Santos and Katherine Gillen 🍉 could attend #Shax2024 .

We had an incredible time being in a community with so many talented scholars, and we feel honored to have won the SAA Shakespeare Publics Award.

Join us on Friday to talk about Shax and social justice in different institutional contexts! There are so many great essays in this collection edited by Marissa Greenberg and Elizabeth Williamson.

Israel: actually bombs an embassy, a globally and historically unprecedented act of aggression

Iran: in response, sends a symbolic arsenal with sufficient information to shoot it down

Israel: talks about starting WWIII in “retaliation” for shit they started

William C. Yes, Ruha Benjamin, “college is not a waiting room to enter the real world.” If this is so, my academic friends, pre-tenure is not a waiting room either. Your silence will not save you. Further, there are greater aspirations than tenure, which does not provide the security you suppose.

It was a joy to be part of this panel and to see so many brilliant friends and colleagues at #SAA2024 . Many thanks to dSTERLINGb for organizing and Dympna Callaghan for facilitating!
