Biography

Judith Owens is a professor at the University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Arts, specializing in Renaissance English literature. She obtained her PhD in English Literature from the same institution in 2002. Her research focuses on English literature of the sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries, with particular attention to the works of Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare. Owens explores the healing arts and household medicine during early modern times, posing critical questions about the role of affective labor in caregiving and how the affordances of healing spaces shape practices. She aims to complete a monograph on the ethics of care in Spenser's poetry, integrating insights from archival research. Additionally, she teaches various courses on literature from this period, including 'Literature from the Sixteenth Century' and 'Elizabethan Plague Literature'. Judith is currently accepting graduate students for Master's and PhD programs.
