Milla Cozart Riggio

Milla Cozart Riggio, Goodwin Professor of English at Trinity College, Hartford, has focused her research and much of her pedagogy since 1995 on Trinidad Carnival and the plays of Shakespeare. She has coordinated world conferences on Carnival, and served as a frequent consultant for the Trinidad and Tobago National Carnival Commission. She currently coordinates the Trinity-in-Trinidad Global Learning site, an exchange program that brings students from institutions in the United States to study in Trinidad each year. Among her books are included an edited volume entitled "Teaching Shakespeare through Performance," as well as three books she edited or co-edited on Trinidad Carnival. She co-edited "In Trinidad," a book of photographs by Trinity Professor Pablo Delano, published in 2008 by Ian Randle Publishers. On August 24, 2016, Dr. Riggio gave an illustrated talk at the Connecticut Historical Society on Carnival traditions and their origins and cultural significance.
