Biography:

Brandie Siegfried teaches courses in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature. Her special interests include Shakespeare, Renaissance drama, early modern women writers, gender studies, and Irish literary history. She also has an interest in film, and often teaches an Honors course called Film Adaptations of Shakespeare. She tends to take a cultural studies approach to literature, often providing interdisciplinary perspectives from ethnography, history, science, and art as lenses through which to read Renaissance texts. Dr. Siegfried received her B.A. and M.A. degrees in English from Brigham Young University, an M.A. in Women's Studies from Brandeis University, and a Ph.D. in Renaissance Literature, also from Brandeis University. She joined the BYU English Department in 1993. She is originally from Oregon, where she spent summers building fire trails and contemplating becoming a smoke-jumper. Her non-academic interests include telemark, cycling, fencing, triathlon competition, ken-po, bookbinding and photography. She is married to Mitch Harris, her telemark, fencing and cycling partner.
