Haunting Shakespeare, or King Lear Meets Alice

The EMC welcomes all to attend this special conference that engages questions and insights inspired by the distinguished works and career of Barbara Hodgdon, Professor of English at the University of Michigan and Ellis and Nelle Levitt Distinguished Professor Emerita at Drake University. Spanning almost four decades, Hodgdon's innovative work has explored a variety of fields and methodologies including--but not limited to--studies of Shakespeare and the "Shakespeare Trade"; Shakespeare and performance (film, television, and theatre); performance theory; historicism, historiography, and the archive; theater history and theatrical memory; the Royal Shakespeare Company, editing theory; feminist theory and criticism; and contemporary pedagogy.
