Dr David Kluth, Dean of the College of Theology, Arts & Sciences at Concordia University in Portland, Oregon announced today that Dan Wright, PhD -- founder and director of the Shakespeare Authorship Research Center at Concordia -- is no longer employed by the university. In a letter to Shakespeare at CU listserv subscribers, Dr Kluth said:

. . . As some of you might already know, Dr. Dan Wright was on leave from Concordia University during the second half of Fall semester 2013. I wanted to share with you that Dr. Wright is no longer employed with Concordia University Portland. We appreciate his many years of dedicated service to the University and especially to the Shakespeare Authorship Research Centre (SARC). I’m sure Dr. Wright will continue to provide valuable scholarship to the Shakespeare authorship discussion in the years ahead. We are currently in the process of reshaping the SARC and will keep you posted as events warrant. Concordia University is committed to playing an active role in the international authorship discussion. During this interim period please feel free to contact me with any questions (email: dkluth@cu-portland.edu). More information on the April Shakespeare conference in Portland will be forthcoming. We look forward to the “next chapter” of the SARC.

New Anonymous film trailer posted on YouTube

By
A second film trailer for Roland Emmerich's film, Anonymous , was posted on YouTube August 5, 2011. Emmerich's historical thriller about the Shakespeare authorship controversy is scheduled for wide-release in the U.S. October 28, 2011. A preview will be screened on Sept. 7, 2011 in downtown Portland, Oregon as part of the Shakespeare Authorship Research Centre 's annual  conference September 6-9, 2011 .  Anonymous will also be featured at the Toronto International Film Festival to be held September 8-18, 2011.
