Medieval topics tend to intrigue elementary, middle-school, and high-school students. In a teaching environment where time is precious, how do teachers approach the Middle Ages? This session seeks papers addressing issues, opportunities, and innovations in the K-12 classroom to inform the larger community of K-12 teachers and post-secondary educators about how the topic is approached at the K-12 level.

Submit full session proposals or paper proposals (no more than 300 words) to mwgeorge.51@gmail.com no later than October 1, 2024.

Shakespeare first travelled to the Korean peninsula at the turn of the twentieth century and has since enjoyed enduring popularity in classrooms, on the stage, and far beyond. The playwright's work has provided and continues to provide fertile ground for performance, from direct Korean-language stagings to hybrid productions which marry the Shakespearean text to Korean cultural forms such as operatic changgeuk and the traditional musical storytelling medium of pansori. Our proposed collection of essays, Hanguk Shakespeare: Korean Receptions and Transformations, aims to explore the rich tradition of Shakespeare in Korea from the turn of the twentieth century to the present day in all its various forms and manifestations.

In the last few years, increasing recourse to ever more efficient technologies and artificial intelligence has radically changed the interpreting and translating professions, triggering an evolution process whose outcomes are currently difficult to predict, but what is certain is that translators and interpreters have to do their best to respond to the changing requirements of a highly diversified market.

Archives have become a site of contestation because of their status as “an imperial project of domination and affirmation” (Ištok 2016). It is specifically the case in the English-speaking world. The revelation in 2011 of the hiding and culling by British colonial authorities of “incriminating documents from former colonies in the months before each one became politically independent” (Diptée 2024) is a case in point. In this deliberate and pernicious meddling with archives, now known as “Operation Legacy”, the “mother country” aimed to tone down — if not silence — colonial violence and display a more humanist facet that was supposed to undergird the liberation of British territories from colonial shackles (Cobain 2016).
