Author of Extramural Shakespeare (Palgrave, 2010) and New Science, New World (Duke University Press, 1996), Albanese has also published on affect and aesthetics; Tudor-Stuart mathematics; Shakespeare in performance; and the place of literature in cultural studies. She regularly teaches courses in affect and politics; mass culture; the histories of cultural studies; Shakespeare, Milton, and other early modern writing; critical and literary theory; and the cultural study of science and technology. Currently she is working on two projects: one a study of neoliberalism and the Santa Fe Institute; and another on affect, media, and Shakespeare as a public object.
