Preti Taneja is our new Postdoctoral Research Fellow for Global Shakespeare. Her academic interests are in postcolonial Indian and African literature and Shakespeare adaptation and appropriation, particularly in India. Her current research brings together her interest and work experience in human rights and literary and performance criticism, to consider the production, performance and reception of Shakespeare’s plays in conflict and postconflict situations. Preti also holds a Fellow Commonership at Jesus College Cambridge University and, following a nationwide search, was selected as one of ten BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinkers to make TV and radio programs about her research. |
