Ambereen Dadabhoy is Associate Professor of English at Harvey Mudd College. Her research focuses on cross-cultural encounters in the early modern Mediterranean and race and religion in early modern English drama. She investigates the many discourses that construct and reinforce human difference and in how they are mobilized in the global imperial projects that characterize much of the early modern period. Ambereen is co-author with Dr. Nedda Mehdizadeh of Anti-Racist Shakespeare (Cambridge Elements 2023) and Shakespeare through Islamic Worlds (Routledge 2024), which investigates the dearth of Muslim representation in Shakespeare's works, despite their ubiquitous presence in his preferred setting of the Mediterranean Sea.
