Carol Symes is University Scholar, Dean's Professorial Scholar, and Professor of History, Theatre, and Medieval Studies at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. She received the Ph.D from Harvard and became a member of Actors' Equity in 1999; she also holds a B.A. from Yale, an M.Litt from Oxford, and a Certificate in Stage Combat from the Society of British Fight Directors (earned during professional training at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School).
