She specializes in early modern English drama, digital pedagogy, and the history of fencing.

She also holds a Master at Arms certification with a concentration in historical fencing from Sonoma State University and has written on seventeenth-century Italian rapier curriculum in her co-authored fencing manual, Fundamentals of Italian Rapier: A Modern Manual for Teachers and Students of Historical Fencing (SKA Swordplay Books, 2018). Klappentext Argues that playwrights looked to fencing theory and performance for physical cues and formal structure Fencing, Form and Cognition on the Early Modern Stage reveals an underexplored archive of Italian, English and German fencing texts, which were designed explicitly to teach tempo and judgement. This intervention in Shakespeare and Jonson scholarship provides critical new insights into the plots, pacing and characterisation of drama and attends to the ethical and pedagogical work displayed and accomplished by fencing and dramatic devices. It yields a robust theory of active waiting and brings the imbrications of appropriate timing and ethical decision-making to the fore. Dori Coblentz is a Marion L. Brittain postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Zusammenfassung Argues that playwrights looked to fencing theory and performance for physical cues and formal structure.
