| Summary: | Based on real experiences of teaching Shakespeare in diverse classrooms and outreach programs, this Element questions the role of authority in Shakespeare teaching. It connects an understanding of how Shakespearean texts function with critical thinking about teaching, especially derived from the work of Jaques Rancière.
