Towards an anti-racist academy: Early Modern Scholars of Colour Network

Join us for the opening of the fourth Shakespeare and Race Festival, which marks the launch of a new research collaboration between Shakespeare’s Globe and King’s College London: The Shakespeare Centre London.

Join us as we stream the official launch of the Early Modern Scholars of Colour Network, an anti-racist network that aims to create community amongst UK-based scholars of colour in Shakespeare and Early Modern studies, while actively working towards establishing greater inclusivity and decolonial transformation in the UK academy.

Led by Professor Farah Karim-Cooper, the discussions will centre around the achievements of the network so far, upcoming plans, and future avenues for professional support, including an exciting new mentorship scheme. There will be a roundtable discussion on academic activism, early career development, and the state of Shakespeare studies, Early Modern studies and related disciplines in the UK academy.
