Professor Sullivan has been awarded a standard grant to research video game adaptations of Shakespeare and their usefulness in secondary education.
What happens when Shakespeare meets gaming culture?
Shakespeare Arcade is an innovative new research project examining how video game adaptations of Shakespeare can be used to enrich secondary education. Backed by UKRI/AHRC funding, the project brings together researchers, teachers and subject experts to explore the educational value of digital play and its potential to make Shakespeare more accessible to today's learners.
Led by Professor Erin Sullivan the project will see University of Birmingham working in partnership with Dr Sarah Olive from Aston University, the English Association, and the National Association for the Teaching of English.
