Her dissertation, <i>Shakespearean Romance<\/i>, considers how and why Shakespeare takes on the challenge of translating the genre of romance from page to stage in his late plays (<i>Pericles<\/i>, <i>The Winter\u2019s Tale<\/i>, <i>Cymbeline<\/i>, and <i>The Tempest<\/i>). She is a contributor to two digital humanities projects, the Shakespeare\u2019s Staging project at UC Berkeley, and the Restoring Sidney\u2019s Arcadia project in collaboration with faculty at Purdue and Stetson. Her essay \u201cA Perfect Match: Two Griseldas and a Wedding Dress in Boccaccio, Petrarch, and Chaucer\u201d was awarded the Joel Fineman Prize from UC Berkeley\u2019s English department in 2012. She won several writing prizes as an undergraduate at Duke University, where she received her BA in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, Aileen received an Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award from UC Berkeley. She has designed and taught Reading and Composition courses on Shakespeare, Hollywood film, and genre. She has also taught for the department\u2019s gateway class for the English major, \u201cLiterature through Milton,\u201d and the department\u2019s Shakespeare survey, a popular class for English majors and non-majors alike. In the summers, Aileen designs and teaches intensive writing classes on contemporary fiction and non-fiction at ATPD (Academic Talent Development Program), a UC Berkeley program for gifted and talented youth. Before matriculating at UC Berkeley for her PhD, Aileen taught high school English in the Atlanta Public Schools through Teach For America, a teaching program aimed at improving educational outcomes and expanding opportunities for students in low-income communities.<\/p>\n\t<style id=\"bates-page-specific-css\/css\" class=\"wp-block-bates-page-specific-css-css\">.where-from { margin: .4em 0 1em 0; }<\/style> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of California, Berkeley Aileen Liu specializes in early modern English literature&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":416,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"class_list":["post-28","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/early-modern-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/early-modern-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/early-modern-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/early-modern-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/416"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/early-modern-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/early-modern-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":164,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/early-modern-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28\/revisions\/164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/early-modern-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
