Ronda Arab

Ronda Arab is Associate Professor of English at Simon Fraser University, Canada. Her research interests are gender, class, and city identities, particularly as they intersect and are realized on the early modern London stage. She is the author of Manly Mechanicals on the Early Modern English Stage (Susquehanna University Press, 2011), which examines the masculinity of working men, particularly artisans and tradesmen. Her most recent project looks at the unique identity of gentle born London apprentices and their place in the shifting class formations of early modern England.
