In 2001 the Student Senate awarded him the Tassie McNamara Award for service to students; in 2001-2002 he was a visiting scholar at Wolfson College, University of Cambridge; and in 2012 he was a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Scholar, participating in a seminar on the early printed book held in Antwerp, London, and Oxford.

Kevin Quarmby, PhD

Dr. Kevin A. Quarmby, Associate Professor and Rose Warner Endowed Professor of English in the School of Arts and Sciences, is a Shakespeare scholar specializing in Shakespeare and social justice, Shakespeare and performance, and global Shakespeare studies. Prior to his academic career, he was a professional stage, television, and film actor.

Dr. Quarmby was awarded a PhD in English (Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama) by King's College, University of  London, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He won the King's College 'Inglis Prize' and gained full Arts and Humanities Research Council funding for his doctoral research. During his graduate studies, he taught English Renaissance Literature at King's College London, followed by University of Notre Dame, St. Lawrence University, and University of California courses, all for their London study-abroad experiences.

On completing his PhD, Quarmby was invited to teach at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London, as a Globe Education Lecturer, as well as offering study-abroad Shakespeare courses for Florida State University, Drexel University, and Temple University.

As Associate Tutor for the University of Sussex's English and Drama Department, Quarmby workshopped and directed a production of Ben Jonson's Masque of Queens. He also taught Emory University's Summer Program at the University of Oxford, and was Guest Lecturer at Homerton College, University of Cambridge, teaching Restoration and Long Eighteenth-Century Drama. In the Fall of 2012, Quarmby accepted an Assistant Professorship at Emory University's Oxford College, and in 2017 accepted his present post at The College of St. Scholastica.

Away from the 'physical' classroom, Quarmby is passionate about Shakespeare and social justice. His Shakespeare classes regularly invite outside participants to join his students, while also interacting with academics and practitioners from around the world. During his three-year tenure as Distinguished Visiting Scholar (2011-2014), he received tremendous support from the Claus M. Halle Institute for Global Learning based at Emory University.

Quarmby has published extensively in academic journals, including Shakespeare, Shakespeare Bulletin, ROMARD, Cahiers ÉlisabéthainsShakespearean International Yearbook, and twice in Shakespeare Survey. His book, The Disguised Ruler in Shakespeare and his Contemporaries, was shortlisted for the Shakespeare's Globe Book Award 2014, and reissued in paperback by Routledge in 2016. Other publications include chapters in Women Making Shakespeare (Bloomsbury 2013), Shakespeare Beyond English (Cambridge UP 2013), Macbeth: The State of Play (Bloomsbury 2014), The Revenger's Tragedy: The State of Play (Bloomsbury 2017).

In Global and Local Myths in Shakespearean Performance (Palgrave Macmillan 2018), Quarmby analyzes “Shamanistic Shakespeare: Korea’s Colonization of Hamlet,” while in The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Social Justice (Bloomsbury 2020), he addresses “‘Shakespeare in Prison’: A South African Social Justice Alternative,” and Shakespeare's importance as an educational tool for preventing recidivism.

Quarmby's latest publications continue to explore the pedagogical and political implications of Shakespeare on a global scale. In his 2021 article, “PPE for Shakespearians: Pandemic, Performance and Education,” for the Cambridge University Press annual edition of Shakespeare Survey, Volume 74, Quarmby analyzes how alternative performance technologies forced on theater producers by the COVID-19 pandemic translate into the Shakespeare classroom. On the other hand, Quarmby's 2022 article, “Anti-Shakespeare Rhetoric and Colombia’s ‘Theatre for Peace’,” published in Shakespearean International Yearbook, studies the significance of Shakespeare in post-conflict Colombia for countering the gender-based violence that has dominated this troubled nation for several generations. Quarmby is grateful to The College of St. Scholastica for supporting his research and published scholarship, and for recognizing the social justice imperative at its core.

Suzanne Yunis, PhD

Suzanne Yunis (Ph.D., Case Western Reserve University) is Associate Professor of English at the College of St. Scholastica, where she has taught since 1989. From 1997 to 2000 she was director of White Water Writers Workshop at the Institute for Writing and Thinking at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. From 2000-2015 she was co-director of Imagining History, a grant project in northern Minnesota which enabled her to guide local teachers through family reminiscence, historical research and writing. Through this experience she witnessed the healing power of writing and sharing stories, and saw how narratives detailing family trauma and triumph could move writers toward a measure of peace and their audiences toward compassion. More recently, her participation in “The Examined Life Conference,” held annually at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, has reinforced her belief in the therapeutic efficacy of both literature and personal writing in the healing professions. In the Health Humanities Program, she helps students and future healthcare professionals find the words, sentiments and narrative arcs to shape stories that wrestle meaning from pain—their own and their patients’.
