Explore how Shakespeare's works can be integrated into indigenous educational spaces through the lens of critical literacy. This workshop addresses the value of Shakespeare’s works while at the same time respecting and elevating indigenous knowledge.

Participants will learn practical strategies to help students critically analyse Shakespearean texts via a kaupapa Māori lens, considering questions such as:

• why still teach Shakespeare?

• how to approach and understand things foreign?

• what to do with the power of story? 

By fostering critical literacy skills, educators can help students recognise biases, appreciate diverse perspectives, and promote cultural empathy and inclusivity. Join us to transform Shakespeare from a tool of historical suppression into a medium for cultural reclamation and enriched learning experiences.
