Shakespeare Institute US networking event

Prospective postgraduate students interested in studying in our School of English, Drama and Creative Studies are invited to join alumni and staff from the University of Birmingham's Shakespeare Institute for a networking reception to find out all about studying at Birmingham and the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford Upon Avon.

Hear from Professor Tiffany Stern, Professor of Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama, who will discuss current research developments in Shakespeare Studies, and update you on all the news from the Shakespeare Institute and the Edgbaston campus. Also meet alumna Diane Meyer Lowman, author of the memoir The Undiscovered Country: Seeing Myself Through Shakespeare’s Eyes.

Diane is also generously funding a scholarship of £3,000 for a selected MA Shakespeare scholar for the 2025/26 academic year. Find out more and apply.

Your first drink (or two!) is on us, and bar snacks will be provided.
