Joseph Luzzi, professor of literature at Bard College, guides participants through an in-depth discussion of such key elements in the play as its representations of race, inquiry into human emotions (especially jealousy), and extraordinarily powerful poetic language. He pays special attention to how Othello illuminates major historical issues of its time, in particular, European contact with non-Christian cultures and the age’s anxieties over “otherness” in all its forms.
