Kasey Evans (Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley) specializes in Renaissance literature and offers courses in the English Department that explore the English literary canon from 1400–1800. Her teaching covers topics such as poetry and prose, focusing on the works of Edmund Spenser as well as themes of race and racism in the Renaissance. Additionally, she serves in the Gender Studies Program, the Program in Comparative Literary Studies, and the Kaplan Humanities Scholars Program. In 2010, Evans was awarded the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Teaching Award. Her book, Colonial Virtue: Mobility and Temperance in Renaissance England (University of Toronto Press, 2012), discusses how English writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries used the concept of temperance as a lens to examine European colonialism in the New World. Currently, she is working on a project titled Renaissance Resurrections: Making the Dead Speak in Reformation Texts, which looks at how grief and mourning were expressed through new literary forms in response to the Protestant Reformation.
