When it comes to Shakespeare, Angeline Chiu isn’t afraid to crack a joke. “You have to laugh at it. I think you have to have fun with it, or it becomes a dead letter.” Case in point: The classics professor totes a plastic skull, a reference to Yorick from Hamlet, along to many of her classes. “If I could have my students learn anything, it’s that Shakespeare’s for everybody.”
Chiu is a UVM alumna (MA in Greek and Latin, 2000). In addition to Shakespeare, she teaches courses in all levels on Greek and Latin langauge, literature, and translation.
What makes our faculty members tick? In this video series, get up close and personal with our professors. Hear them talk about their passions, their paths to UVM and why they love what they study, from the mysteries of Lake Champlain’s sculpin to the stories of homeless children in Pakistan.
