Leeward Community College<\/a> holds a Semester of Shakespeare 2013 featuring a lineup of four public lectures and activities. This year’s events are organized around Shakespeare’s gender-bending comedy Twelfth Night<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A 2008 winner of the Wo Innovation in Teaching Award and brainchild of Leeward CC<\/abbr> literature professors Susan Lum<\/strong> and Michael Nester<\/strong>, the Semester of Shakespeare seeks to deepen and to animate students’s engagements with the Stratford bard by providing students a venue to showcase their research and creative energies. <\/p>\n

All events are open to the public and, with the exception of the performance of Twelfth Night<\/em> in the Leeward CC<\/abbr> Lab Theatre, are free.<\/p>\n
