Inger Sigrun Brodey

I'm a scholar, professor, author, and public humanist. I was born in Japan, immigrated with my parents and brothers from Denmark, studied in Germany and Japan, and live in the United States. I'm also a mother of four creative (now adult) kids and a lover of assorted arts and crafts. I teach at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, as the Peter Thacher Grauer Distinguished Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. I also serve in the Honors Program, Global Studies, and Asian Studies. On the side, I also founded four Jane Austen-related programs for the public. You can read about them at Jane Austen Collaborative dot com. Come to one of our events and meet me there (or leave a virtual sticky note on my desk at ingerbrodey dot com).
