Description
If anyone deserves to win the EIU Distinguished Faculty Award it is Julie Campbell. Dr. Campbell is one of the world’s top scholars on early modern women and society. She joined the faculty at EIU in 1998 after completing her PhD in English Literature from Texas A & M University where she was a research assistant in the World Shakespeare Bibliography. Along with dozens of journal articles, book chapters, review essays, book reviews, and conference presentations, she has written two books on women and early modern literary society in England, Italy, and France, and co-edited two collections of essays on early modern women writers. She was the first scholar to edit and translate the entirety of the 16th-century Italian actress and playwright Isabella Andreini's pastoral comedy La Mirtilla, and with Pamela Brown and Eric Nicholson, she has recently edited and translated Andreini's Lovers' Debates for the Stage. Excerpts from these works have been performed in Los Angeles by the L.A. Camerata and in Chicago by Shakespeare Project of Chicago. She is also a co-editor for Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal.
Dr. Campbell has been heavily involved in the EIU Women’s Studies Minor and the Humanities Center. She was instrumental in the creation of the Premodern Global Studies Minor, and serves as its coordinator. She has been a highly rated teacher who has inspired students throughout her time at EIU, teaching a wide variety of courses on Shakespeare and other aspects of Renaissance literature as well as numerous topics across the English curriculum.
