Abstract: This chapter consists of Alexa Alice Joubin's interview of a scholar and educator who has practiced global Shakespeare around the globe. Katherine Hennessey has had the unique experiences and privilege of teaching Shakespeare in Yemen, Kuwait, China, and elsewhere. She has lived and worked in eight very different countries over the past fifteen years. From 2009 to 2014, she lived in Sana’a in Yemen and co-translated A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Subhi Al-Zuraiqi into Yemeni Arabic. From 2017 to early 2022 she served on the faculty of the American University of Kuwait. She is currently an Associate Professor of Shakespeare and Global Literature at Wenzhou-Kean University in China. Her global experiences and pedagogies will prove invaluable to readers.
