Dr Hanh Bui is Head of Research at Shakespeare’s Globe, where she oversees the Research and Collections team, heads research and scholarly programmes, and leads on pedagogical development for Higher Education. In addition to teaching early modern drama, theatre, and cultural history to undergraduates and co-directing the MA in Shakespeare Studies, Dr Bui offers workshops on anti-racist Shakespeare for theatre companies and educators. She also heads the steering committee for the Early Modern Scholars of Colour Network (EMSOC), which partners with the Society for Renaissance Studies to run a mentoring scheme for postgraduates and early career researchers.

Dr Bui’s scholarship stands at the crossroads of early modern race, age, disability, and medicine, and her work has appeared in journals including Shakespeare Survey, Shakespeare, Renaissance Studies, Renaissance Drama, Shakespeare Bulletin, and Literature/Film Quarterly. Her work also appears in the edited collection Shakespeare’s Things: Shakespearean Theatre and the Non-Human World in History, Theory, and Performance (Routledge).

She is currently writing an essay on whiteness and reproductive futurity for the volume Shakespeare/Time (Bloomsbury), and an essay on Othello and epilepsy for The Oxford Handbook of Disability and Literatures in English: 1500–1700 (Oxford University Press). Her monograph project, under contract with Edinburgh University Press, is entitled Birthing Race in Shakespeare’s Worlds.
