In collaboration with Monash colleagues Dr Fiona Gregory and Gabriel Garcia Ochoa, Paul Prescott will be piloting a new undergraduate intensive module in Global Shakespeare in October 2016. This module will run over three weeks and will provide students from both universities with the opportunity to examine Shakespearean texts and productions in both 'global' and local contexts. Students at Monash will work simultaneously with students in Warwick to share particular knowledges and deepen their understanding of local, regional, national and transnational approaches to the texts. Questions of 'authority' and 'authenticity' in Shakespearean production will be addressed alongside issues such as the politics of translation, the influence of notions of 'high' and 'low' culture and the impact of technological innovation on the development of performance production and reception.
