Folger Shakespeare Library’s new 2020-2021 Critical Race Conversations series, which launches in July and will feature two free events aimed at addressing how college faculty can and should integrate critical race studies into their Shakespeare and early modern literature classrooms in order to build more inclusive syllabi and more equitable and anti-racist learning environments. While geared toward Shakespeareans, this event will likely be of use for all who are preparing to teach in this unprecedented climate of mass social protest, persistent racism and pervasive anti-black violence.
