February 19-20, 2016

Ohio Union - The Ohio State University

 

A two-day event on February 19-20, 2016, sponsored and produced by CMRS, intended as an exploration of popular identities past and present with special attention to the world of Shakespeare's time.

This is the third in a yearly series of events under the broader CMRS theme of 'Popular Culture and the Deep Past,' in which contemporary pop-cultural manifestations will be explored and celebrated with attention to their profound and wide-ranging historical and cultural contexts. A guiding principle of the series is to bring diverse communities together in and around Ohio State, including the academic and non-academic, scholarly and performative, creative, educational, and reflective communities.
