During the @folger.edu Symposium on Performance Methodologies, @profjoubin.bsky.social and her colleagues played the "is it playable" game. Audiences submitted their ideas about performance and the panel of actors and director were the judge. #dramaturgy #Shakespeare #game

While participating in a conference @folger.edu @profjoubin.bsky.social noticed a Shakespeare's bust in the ladies room. A bit creepy? #shakespearebust #ladiesroom #library #capitolhill

A gem @folger.edu from 1602. Unfold the flaps to reveal 4 painted figures, each with two fold-over flaps portraying alternate heads: 1) The judgment of Paris; 2) Dido, Pyramus and Thisbe; 3) David, Judith and Joshua; 4) Woman Clothed with the Sun (Bible), St. Michael the Archangel, Queen Elizabeth.

@profjoubin.bsky.social and her colleagues enjoyed a speaker-curated artifacts display in the Founder's Room @folger.edu during the Symposium on Performance Methodologies. Among the artifacts were a forged signature of Shakespeare and an Elizabethan conceit that is a bit of a theatre in your palm

When we visited Singapore, we sampled their national dish: Hainanese chicken. Today, I recreated that experience at home. #hainanchicken #singapore #food

While teaching "Being Human," the computer asked @profjoubin.bsky.social to prove my humanity in front of the class. The irony was not lost.

Shakespearean genders constitute "minor" uses of canonical genres. Adaptation as a genre also engages in productive disruption established conventions. Join @profjoubin.bsky.social at @syracuseu.bsky.social for her talk on Transitional Aesthetics on October 3. events.syracuse.edu/event/gradua...

Julia Kristeva traveled to China with a delegation from the French avant-garde journal Tel Quel in 1974. @profjoubin.bsky.social discusses her book and other instances of race "queering" gender. youtu.be/yf15BkewKRc

@profjoubin.bsky.social observes that gender has a racial dimension in this 1-minute highlight. How do gender-based exclusions help racial prejudices ‘perform’ discriminative acts? youtu.be/NfGZVmiwY9I

Trigger warning should be a communal practice rather than a top-down imposition. Here is a 1-minute highlight of Wendy Lennon's interview with @profjoubin.bsky.social on Shakespeare curriculum. youtu.be/d_fXn6JVulQ

@profjoubin.bsky.social described Shakespeare in three words in this 1-minute highlight: capacious, open, and global. youtu.be/H6RRxz-4YKc

What is the purpose of education? In this 1-minute highlight of the Q&A, @profjoubin.bsky.social addresses this question. youtu.be/us_vlzqhQXU

“Trans as method” can deconstruct problematic notions of purity that inform racism and sexism. In this interview by Wendy Lennon, @profjoubin.bsky.social proposes critical race-oriented trans studies and trans-inclusive race studies. #criticalracetheory #shakespeare #pedagogy youtu.be/0hcAXYSUJ-I

I concocted pho soup out of freshly squeezed lime juice, pork stock, beef stock, and pho stock, ginger, and cilantro. It's drizzled with scallions, hoisin and Srirarcha sauces. I did a quick stir fry of sliced Bavette steak with garlic. To the noodle soup I added some bok choy and Napa cabbage.

How does the sci fi series Years and Years employ humor to critique AI ? In this Q&A, @profjoubin.bsky.social pointed out that trans-humanism is a new way of relating to the world. #humor #scifi #AI #transhuman youtu.be/vYNemXkWoVM

How to critique AI in the humanities classroom is the focus of this Q&A with @profjoubin.bsky.social AI could be used as an interloper to diversify available perspectives in the classroom. #ai #humanities #pedagogy youtu.be/lehHJQENUbA

This short Q&A with @profjoubin.bsky.social covers the questions of embodied experience and disembodied voices in the context of AI and literary studies. youtu.be/rfAVo8QP8ug

At Louisiana State University @profjoubin.bsky.social uses trans as method to critique AI and enhance epistemic justice. Using Shakespeare a case study, she advocates for a culture of care. Here is the video youtu.be/0ULb1eTPaFg

Twelfth Night is unique among Shakespearean comedies. It involves a journey of self-discovery in an elsewhere without returning to where one comes from. @profjoubin.bsky.social examined the comedy through queer dramaturgy during her talk at the @folger.edu Here is the video: youtu.be/W1kyQBSYA8k

Subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) involves creative and emotionally driven decision-making, which AI can’t do. AI is unable to decide which sounds are important. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Puppy promised that if I kiss him, he'll transform into a prince. I have kissed him thousands of times, but he's still very doggy.

Here is a 1-minute highlight of my talk on Twelfth Night at the @folger.edu Thee power of unspoken words.

Approaching Twelfth Night from a queer dramaturgical perspective was the topic of my talk at the @folger.edu Here is a video recording: youtu.be/ZII55zrCyzM The comedy involves a journey of self-discovery in an elsewhere, but characters do not "return" to where the they come from.

@profjoubin.bsky.social gave a talk at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. She argued that AI operates with similar logics to theater. youtu.be/DvoVYe92ZQE?...

We should re-center art in the era of AI to regain human agency. In fact, we should also approach AI from a humanistic and artistic point of view, argued @profjoubin.bsky.social in her talk at the Frederick County Public Library in Maryland on May 31. youtu.be/yFGFgluh1h0?...

Abundance is a key challenge induced by generative AI. @profjoubin.bsky.social drew on Erasmus' Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style (1512) to craft new pedagogies in the era of AI. Full video: youtu.be/-L_8G5Xircg

Abundance is a key challenge induced by generative AI, but @profjoubin turns it into an opportunity for critical inquiry. This is a highlight of Professor Joubin’s talk on AI, Shakespeare and abundance at the Bergen-Hamar conference.

@profjoubin.bsky.social gave her students a tour of the Folger, the First Folios, and the printing press, contrasting mechanically and algorithmically reproduced words in early modern print culture and in our era of AI. #shakespeare #artificialintelligence #printingpress #earlymodernity

Orange pork! My secret sauce: Sichuan paste, hoisin, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar. The last ingredients to go into the woke were edamame and mandarin orange (so as not to overcook them).

My article in Shakespeare Survey 77 argues that trans-inclusive and anti-racist campaigns have a lot more in common beyond their shared agenda of social justice. Full text here works.hcommons.org/records/cesa...

In our new volume on Reparative Shakespeare, we examine artistic claims that performances repair and improve social condition (using international Shakespeare as case study). www.routledge.com/The-Shakespe...

Both the printing press and AI are mediators. Both change the social function of language. The printing press gave rise to national languages. AI normalizes certain patterns of communication, increases linguistic opacity, and reduces intra-linguistic diversity.
