It's a little past afternoon but I'll be carrying on with discussion about Shakespeare, Prac Crit, and other exciting things going on in Cambridge! #EFLdecolonise Ian shared some really excellent resources regarding examinations of race and culture in Shakespeare's plays several weeks back. These questions are often overlooked but are crucial to the the dramatic action of many of Shakespeare's works.

Hi everyone! My name's Ian Wang, I'm a second-year English student here at Cambridge, and I'm the first of a series of students who are taking over the Library's social media this term to talk about decolonising the curriculum. Since it's Shakespeare term at the moment, I thought I'd talk about postcolonial approaches to Shakespeare. When I went through Shakespeare term last year, one of the things that frustrated me was the near-total absence of postcolonial approaches in the teaching material.
