On Caliban and Slavery in Shakespeare’s The Tempest by Dr. Jamie Paris (ETFM)

Thursday, February 9th, 2023 from 2:30 - 4:30 PM CT 409 Tier Building

The UMIH is thrilled to present the New Faculty Colloquium in which we highlight the research-in-progress of new faculty members in Arts. In this talk, Dr. Paris will consider the enslavement and imprisonment of Caliban in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest in terms of the history of the enslavement of Indigenous peoples in the New World in the early modern period and with reference to the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in Canadian prisons. This talk will attempt to bridge ideas from premodern critical race studies with the emerging field of early modern Indigenous studies.
