Dr Wendy Lennon was the Guest Editor for a ‘Shakespeare, Race & Pedagogy’ special edition of the British Shakespeare Association’s
‘Teaching Shakespeare 26’ magazine.
In this special edition, international contributors, who are both teachers and students of Shakespeare, offer insights and share their perspectives on their experiences of teaching and learning Shakespeare’s plays.
Dr Lennon writes about the dangerous creep of The Global Resurgence of Authoritarianism that is being imposed upon the teaching of Shakespeare in secondary schools in the UK. Lennon also includes her review of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s summer 2024 production of As You Like It in Stratford-upon-Avon.
