Julie Sutherland

Julie Sutherland is deeply interested in the capacity of literature—both read and in performance—to effect change in the human spirit. After completing an MA and PhD in English Studies and Seventeenth-Century Studies at the University of Durham, Julie returned to her home country, Canada, to teach Shakespeare and Renaissance Studies at the University of British Columbia and Kwantlen Polytechnic. She has also developed curriculum for Athabasca University’s online Shakespeare modules and created a Shakespeare-for-children programme for an outdoor education group on a tiny island off the Eastern coast of Canada. As well, Julie facilitates sessions on drama in the Age of Shakespeare for the London Literary Salon.

Julie has been recognized for teaching excellence in Shakespearean drama in Canada and the UK. She has a long history of leading sessions on Shakespeare, poetry and other literature in educational and non-educational settings in Canada, the US, the UK and online. Julie has also worked in theatre production and administration and even managed to play Titania, Queen of the Faeries, in a semi-professional production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
