Theater Studies Course Among Fall “Transformative Ideas” Offerings

students in classroom

A new program for Duke sophomores – which launched earlier this year – will include a Theater Studies course this fall: “Power, Theater, Politics” (THEATRST 225S).

The course is part of the new “Transformative Ideas” program that is designed to promote open and civil cross-disciplinary dialogue on questions and big ideas that change lives, link cultures and shape societies around the world.

“Power, Theater, Politics” – taught by Douglas Jones of Theater Studies and English – explores how cultural formations have understood and even shaped the relationship between power and politics on public stages of all sorts, from theater to the battlefield. The course is cross-listed with English (ENG 278S).
