Andrea Sununu has degrees from Mount Holyoke and Brown. Having taught at Mount Holyoke, Swarthmore, Oberlin, and the University of New Hampshire, she arrived at DePauw in 1990. She teaches introductory courses and Early Modern Subjects, including Shakespeare and Milton. Her most recent senior seminar, "Revisiting Shakespeare’s Sisters," grew out of her research on Katherine Philips (1632-64), whose works she is co-editing for the series "Women Writers in English, 1350-1850" published by Oxford University Press. She has directed seven Honor Scholar theses, served as reader of twenty-seven others, and for the past ten years taught a first-year seminar in the program. She received an award for Exemplary Teaching in 1993, an inaugural Distinguished Professorship in 1999, and a Frederick C. Tucker Distinguished Career Award in 2005.
