Welcome to My Website

My name is Grace Kimball (she/her/per pronouns), and I am a doctoral candidate in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My research looks at early modern English performance behaviors and religion, and I work as an educator and Graduate Career Peer Advisor at my institution. I am also a director, intimacy director, playwright, and co-chair for the Shakespeare Association of America Graduate Committee.
