This digitally supported course explores how AI reshapes our engagement with Shakespeare’s works through critical inquiry and creative experimentation. Focusing on Othello, Twelfth Night, and Richard II, students investigate digital close reading, AI-assisted performance, canon revision, and co-authorship. Core topics include machine learning, bias, and rhetorical analysis. Blending theory and hands-on tools, the course fosters new interpretations and productions of Shakespeare while challenging traditional approaches to literature, authorship, and the role of the humanities in a digital age.
The course provides data for 12 content units that should be supported by 6 to 12 in-class meetings.
