Decolonizing the English Literary Curriculum
George Floyd's death on May 25th 2020 marked a watershed in reactions to anti-Black racism in the United States and elsewhere. Intense demonstrations around the world followed. Within literary studies, the demonstrations accelerated the scrutiny of the literary curriculum, the need to diversify the curriculum, and the need to incorporate more Black writers. Decolonizing the English Literary Curriculum is a major collection that aims to address th…
The Decolonial Imaginary of Borderlands Shakespeare
Created by Chicanx and Indigenous artists living and working in the US–Mexico Borderlands, Borderlands Shakespeare appropriations situate Shakespeare within the unique context of la frontera, engaging with its hybrid cultures, genres, and languages. These appropriations draw from Anglo, Spanish, and Indigenous traditions, and they confront Shakespeare’s colonial legacies, interrogating the complex layers of colonialism shaping the region and Shak…
Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy at Hispanic Serving Institutions
This article argues for the need to center Latine students' experiences and language practices in Spanish programs at Hispanic Serving Institutions. We describe the work and possibilities of designing programs informed by Latine Studies perspectives as well by culturally and linguistically sustaining approaches to teaching Heritage Language Learners.

However, Magaña’s production grounds these explorations in the explicitly local context of the Rio Grande Valley, with environmental destru…

Shakespeare in the Capitalocene
Titus Andronicus (1588) and Timon of Athens (1607) theorize what Jason W. Moore calls the Capitalocene, a world in which capitalism has reshaped the earth’s materiality while also radically reconfiguring conceptions of both human and nonhuman nature. With Titus emphasizing iron weapons and Timon interrogating the force of weaponized gold, both works draw on Ovidian Iron Age mythology to show how humans have violently impacted social and natural e…
