Ready with #powerdressing #bangles to give plenary lecture on #amidsummernightsdream at Irish Renaissance Seminar. Huge thanks to Dr Edel Semple @UniversityCollegeCork l think that Ireland is exactly the place to talk about poetry, politics, and gendered silences of colonisation.
On this day in May, a decade ago, l officially became #britishasian & l am so glad that l get to mark this by sharing that l have signed a contract to write my book *British South Asian Shakespeares on Stage: Politics & Performance* with @UExeterPress

Today I am thinking of my mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, and the many lessons she taught me. I am so proud to be her daughter.
Happy Mother's Day to the mothers, stepmoms, grandmothers, godmothers, aunties, and all the women in our lives who love, raise, and guide us.

Enjoyed being on the other side of the mic and talking about Podcasting, Indian Shakespeare, Midsummer Night's Dream, and my new book for Speaking of Shakespeare podcast!
