Turchi, Laura B., ed. Design and Discomfort: Teaching Shakespeare and Race. Tempe, AZ: ACMRS Press, 2025.
Offers narratives of contemporary secondary and higher education classroom practices where Shakespeare studies eschew Bardolatry and engage students in intentional if sometimes uncomfortable dialogues on race and identity. The essays include frameworks for study and lesson plans that combine designs for close textual work and anti-racist considerations. The book will interest teacher educators, teaching artists, curriculum designers, and practitioners of performance-infused teaching.
