Is Shakespeare still relevant? Is there any point to teaching Shakespeare outside of a Shakespeare course? In this episode, Paige and Margaret discuss the potential of including Shakespeare in your introductory, survey, and special topics course to find the threads that connect Shakespeare to today's world. We discuss ways we could use Shakespeare to teach research skills, examine political rhetoric, consider evolving identities, talk about literary collaboration, and more! As always, we try to share interesting resources we've discovered along the way. We'd love to hear how you've taught a Shakespeare course or incorporated Shakespeare into your film courses, Women in Lit courses, survey courses, etc. Share your experiences, questions, and comments with us on Twitter with @Literaturely101, on Instagram at LiteraturelyPodcast, or via email at [email protected]!
