Congratulations to Linzy Brady

winner of the Outstanding Research Student Award

The title of her paper was "Shakespeare Reloaded: The creation of a collaborative learning community".

Linzy Brady is a PhD candidate researching how Shakespeare’s texts are taught in secondary schools in Sydney and London. Of particular interest are collaborative learning communities that draw on the expertise of teachers, academics and arts practitioners and the interdisciplinary focus on Shakespeare in the secondary school English classroom that occurs as a result. Her research follows teacher training at The University of Sydney and five years teaching experience in secondary schools in London, where she both taught Shakespeare and experienced the benefits of interaction with the arts and theatre companies while doing so.

Her supervisors are Dr Liam Semler and Dr Jackie Manual.
