Dr. Whitney Dirks, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Gustavus Department of History, talks about her young “gender bending” acting in Shakespeare plays, her self-designed interdisciplinary major in Renaissance and Theater Studies at Beloit College in Wisconsin, her research on the production, circulation, consumption, and meanings of print materials in early modern England about “monsters” like hermaphrodites, conjoined twins, and an alleged porcine-faced lady, teaching and learning the early modern period through hands-on student projects using period skills, and the value of historical skills and the liberal arts.
