In fact, they almost sent me right back to the U.S. for calling it an internship when I was in customs,\u201d De Pree said. \u201cSo let\u2019s call it a volunteership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Pree will be talking about the research she did during said volunteership at the 11th\u00a0annual Furman Engaged!, a daylong celebration of high-impact learning experiences from departments all over campus set for April 9.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was executing close readings of \u2018Othello,\u2019 examining the text at the granular level and pulling out certain objects that are mentioned in the texts,\u201d she said. \u201cI was essentially doing a catalogue of different objects that are mentioned and connecting those with objects that the birthplace trust has in their archives. It\u2019s a pretty new way to look at text because it helps us illustrate with actual historical objects what Shakespeare might have been picturing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Financially, the trip was possible because of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.furman.edu\/sites\/ur\/Pages\/summer-research-fellows.aspx\">Furman Summer Research Fellowship<\/a>. Having the opportunity to begin with was possible largely because of Professor of English Willard Pate, who was a personal friend of Paul Edmondson, the head of research at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of our long friendship, Dr. Edmondson and I were able to share a depth of communication about Maddie\u2019s work that might not have been possible had I not known both of them so well,\u201d Pate said. \u201cFor the record, he raved about her and invited us to send another English major to him in the summer of 2019. That student will be Olivia Corso.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contrary to what her place on an internship panel at Furman Engaged! would lead you to believe, Maddie De Pree \u201920 most definitely did not participate in an internship last [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":265,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,26,31,58,47,13,55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-academic-department-page","category-administrative","category-english","category-internships","category-study-away-and-international-education","category-top-four-news-4th-story","category-undergraduate-research"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/265"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8083"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39539,"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8083\/revisions\/39539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
