“The Purpose of Playing” Fall Break Trip | October 2023
With the support of a Princeton Humanities Council “Magic Grant,” I organized a 9-day trip to London, Oxford, and Stratford-upon-Avon for students in my fall 2023 seminar “The Purpose of Playing: Theater in Early Modern London.” Students visited excavated, extant, and reconstructed performance sites from the period; they also attended shows and participated in an acting workshop at Shakespeare’s Globe.

“Illuminated and Unsettled” Pop-up Exhibition Houghton Library | September 2022
Rob Brown and I co-curated this exhibition for the Morton W. Bloomfield Conference in honor of James Simpson, with the support of Peter X. Accardo, Mitch Nakaue and other Houghton staff. Reflecting Simpson’s work to challenge “medieval” and “early modern” periodization, objects on display included an alleged fragment of printer William Caxton’s house.

Harvard Horizons Symposium | May 2021
The Harvard Horizons Symposium is an annual event during which PhD candidates present their research for a broader audience in bite-size talks. Though the 2020 Symposium was delayed and ultimately moved online due to COVID-19, the digital platform provided new and expansive ways in which to share my work on female revenge in early modern drama with the public.
