World Theatre History II focuses on the time periods from the 17th century to present day. Students will read one play per week in addition to supplemental materials in order to analyze and discuss the theories, practices, people, events, and major movements that shaped these works. Through close-reading, writing, discussions, quizzes, and performances, we will examine the plays in their social, political, and cultural context, applying various critiques including (but not limited to) decolonial, anti-racist, queer, and feminist. This course analyzes why and how certain works are canonized and why others are not while recentering BIPOC, disabled, queer, and trans voices and experiences.
