Vin Nardizzi (English) teaches Renaissance literature, ecocriticism, and queer and disability studies. His current project, Evergreen Fantasies: Shakespeare’s Theatre in the Age of Wood, brings into view the forest and the trees of Renaissance drama: it explores the surprising connections among Shakespeare’s theatre, drama set “in the woods,” and an environmental crisis that propagandists claimed would to lead to an eco-political collapse—an unprecedented scarcity of wood and timber. His next projects will investigate the performance of disability on Shakespeare’s stage and late-Elizabethan representations that register the impact of what’s now called “The Little Ice Age.”
