Research Workshop: 'Shakespeare as the Ultimate Design Thinker'
Location: OC1.06 Oculus Building
Abstract: Long before 鈥渄esign thinking鈥 had a name, Shakespeare was practicing it. This interactive workshop invites students to explore Shakespeare not just as a playwright, but as a systems thinker, prototype builder, and radical designer of human possibility. Through scenes from Hamlet, Macbeth, and The Winter鈥檚 Tale, students will examine how Shakespeare tests ideas, stages failure, iterates ethical dilemmas, and designs spaces for collective thinking. The session blends close reading with creative exercises, offering students tools for applying Shakespearean thinking (and humanities thinking more broadly) to contemporary challenges—from climate anxiety to AI, leadership, and identity.
