Since there’s just been more whitewashing of Heathcliff (predictably!), here’s my talk on Heathcliff, race, and Romaniness for @GothicRomancing :

Have you ever wondered, "Why Shakespeare?"🤔 @respinosa1564 talks about language, identity, and engaging students holistically. See the whole video, and access the accompanying text when you sign up to the @throughlines_ mailing list. https://t.co/5uc7b0fpnO

Irish studies and folklore peeps: does anyone know of any articles or books or accounts that discuss or mention the bean nighe (washer woman) specifically in an Irish context? I’m finding only brief references and otherwise only discussions of Scottish folklore. Thank you.

Join us for a conversation with leading premodern scholars @tandrews156, @profdebarros, and Farah Karim-Cooper on the histories of resistance—tracing a lineage to how resistance is mobilized in our current moment. Thanks to @HumIt_ASU for partnering.

Weird how Shakespeare’s work becomes “history” when Black women are cast in his plays. Shakespeare & the role of Juliet are being positioned as part of white English heritage & therefore white property. Good thing I’m writing a book on this. #ShakeRace

The first Black professional actor on a British stage whose name we know was a Black woman, Rachael Baptiste, who played Juliet in the eighteenth century. All power to @JamieLloydCo and their leading lady, Francesca Amewaduh-Rivers. She joins a proud, long tradition.
