Why the honoree chose the book
My chapter "Shakespeare, Race, and Human Rights" featured in the Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Race would not exist today had it not been for my colleagues, students, and time as an assistant professor at the University of Dayton. Although my research has always focused on 16th- and 17th-century social justice issues, power, and forms of oppression, my work on human rights in the early modern world specifically has been fostered through the conversations I have had with colleagues and students in the human rights studies program, the Human Rights Center, and the University more broadly.
