All the World’s Your Stage is ideal for parents, caretakers, and teachers who want to introduce Shakespeare’s works and his world to young readers.Dr. Farah Karim-Cooper is the eighth director of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC. The Folger opened in 1932 as a home to the monumental collection of Shakespeare’s works and materials from the early modern world amassed by founders Henry and Emily Folger. Today, Dr. Karim-Cooper leads a staff of around 150 who continue to grow and care for the collection, provide opportunities for research and scholarship, program the Folger’s Elizabethan-style theatre, offer training and classes for educators and students, and operate museum galleries and a café. As the Folger approaches its second century, Dr. Karim-Cooper is positioning the organization as an international leader for practical applications of Shakespeare and the humanities in civic life.Prior to joining the Folger, Dr. Karim-Cooper was Professor of Shakespeare Studies, King’s College London, and Director of Education (Higher Education &amp; Research) at Shakespeare’s Globe, where she worked for 20 years. She has published over 40 chapters in books, reviews, and articles and served as a co-General Editor for Arden’s Shakespeare in the Theatre series and their Critical Intersections Series. Her book, The Great White Bard: Shakespeare, Race and the Future (2023) was voted top 100 books of 2023 by Time Magazine, NPR and The New Yorker.
