York University spoke with Don Rubin about the special Shakespeare Authorship issue of the Journal of Scientific Exploration. Rubin, an SOF trustee, is theatre Professor Emeritus at the Ontario, Canada university.
He discusses his purpose and process in editing the peer-reviewed issue, released in August, and explains why this subject fits well in a science journal:
“People in the science community are always challenging one another with new findings. For some reason, though, literature professors seem hesitant to keep testing their ideas against new research. …if English professors won’t read the recent research, maybe scholars in other fields such as science, history and law will have to do it for them.”
