Shakespeare Symposium
Shakespeare & Education
Hosted by Campion College’s Centre for the Study of Western Tradition (CSWT), this symposium will consider a series of related questions, both theoretical and practical, including:
• Why and how do we teach Shakespeare?
• How and what does he teach us?
• What role has he played within western education?
• What role should he play? What role will he play?
This two-day symposium will feature panel sessions and papers from eminent scholars from around the country. We look forward to seeing you on campus.
