Higher Education
Emma
Atwood
Birmingham, Alabama Area
I am an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Montevallo, Alabama's only public liberal arts college. I am currently teaching Renaissance Poetry, British and American Literature I, and Honors Global Literature: Utopian Literature.
I earned my PhD in English at Boston College, where I specialized in Early Modern and Restoration drama.
My dissertation, Spatial Dramaturgy and Domestic Control in Early a Modern Drama, explores the interplay between 17th century architectural developments and space in early modern theater.

I have given conference talks on a variety of topics, including Shakespeare's architecture, Koran burning in the 16th century, and Shakespeare's Cougars.
I have studied Shakespeare performance at Shakespeare & Company and have attended workshops with the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company in Boston. I have performed with Willing Suspensions, a company that produces non-Shakespearean early modern drama. Two of my 10-minute plays have been performed by the After Hours company at Boston College.
