Shakespeare and Political Philosophy by Shawn Welnak and John Lutz
Movie/ Discussion
Dr. Shawn Welnek, Professor Philosophy Department
Dr. Welnak, founder of the Institute for the Study of Democracy and Liberalism at LIU Post, specializes in Political Philosophy. As an active scholar, he has presented his work across the country, and most recently in Paris. Additionally, Dr. Welnak’s captivating teaching style is evidenced by his students' evaluations, which regularly rank him among the top professors on any of LIU’s six campuses. Recently, he has taught a course with LIU colleague, Dr. John Lutz, on Shakespeare’s Tempest in which they debated the nature of Shakespeare’s political philosophy. He would like to present a movie discussion on Richard II to adult and high school audiences.
