Trained as a Classicist, she moved into English studies to complete a doctorate at Merton College, Oxford, on the place of student drama in the culture of English university life, before taking up a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham. Her monograph Growing up Dramatically at Oxford and Cambridge: University Men and Their Plays in Early Modern England (Oxford University Press) is the first study of university drama to cover the Tudor and Stuart periods.Andrew Sofer is professor of English at Boston College.

His books include The Stage Life of Props; Dark Matter: Invisibility in Drama, Theater, and Performance; and Wave, a poetry collection.

His doctoral thesis, “Globalizing Nature on the Shakespearean Stage,” which was awarded the Shakespeare Association of America’s J. Leeds Barroll Dissertation Prize for 2020, revises the anthropocentric narrative of early globalization from the perspective of the nonhuman world on the early modern stage. His work, which celebrates accident, unpredictability, and nonhuman elements as productive agents in performance, traces strategies from early modern performance practices for confronting modern ecological crises. His previous publication, “Grafting and Ecological Imperialism in John Fletcher’s Bonduca,” appeared in the Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies.
