Research

Dr. Joseph Greenwood’s primary research interests, focus on different playwrights’ incorporation of traditional and popular songs within a dramatic context. Treating these songs as a form of social or communal memory, the scholarship analyses how the songs, therefore, might profoundly impact upon an audience’s reception of the theatrical event. As well as having had a number of articles appearing in peer reviewed journals, he has also written a published monograph, “Hear My Song”: Irish Theatre and Popular Song in the 1950s and 1960s (Peter Lang Publishers, 2018). For the past 2 years, he has been researching into how Shakespeare employed quotidian songs within his plays, to enhance an audience’s emotive response, and to manipulate their narrative expectations. Dr. Joseph Greenwood is also currently involved in a collaborative research project, which is exploring the relationship between traditional songs and the performance of Kurdish identities; the latest findings have been presented at two international conferences in 2023, and publications are scheduled for 2024.
