Julianne Newmark lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is an Assistant Professor at New Mexico Tech, in Socorro, New Mexico, where she teaches American, multi-ethnic, and environmental literature courses as well as courses in the Writing Program and Technical Communication Program. In 2010, an article of Julianne's was published in the journal Arizona Quarterly and she had a book chapter included in Terra Incognita: D. H. Lawrence at the Frontiers. Previously, Julianne has published articles in the journals Western American Literature, Etudes Lawrenciennes, and The Latin American Literary Review. She has presented papers on various American literature and Native American literature subjects, as well as on WAC (Writing Across the Curriculum) course design and program development, at numerous international, national, and regional conferences (please see the CV section for a full list). In 2009, Julianne was awarded a Visiting Scholar appointment by the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, and was in residence at the Redd Center during the Spring term of 2009. While at the Redd center, she completed her book manuscript Place, Not Race: Sites of American Literary Neonativism, 1899-1933, which is currently under review at a university press. Julianne was a 2007 recipient of a joint award by the South Central Modern Language Association and the Newberry Library in Chicago to conduct research on Carlos Montezuma and Zitkala-Sa. The Graduate School of Wayne State University awarded Julianne the 2002 Heberlein Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Julianne received her Ph.D. from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where she also held a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship in the Honors Program. As a Postdoctoral Fellow, she led her students in the creation of service learning projects. Julianne returned to her home state of New Mexico in August 2005 to teach for the 2005-2006 academic year at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Presently, as an Assistant Professor at New Mexico Tech, Julianne continues to serve her students as a teacher of literature, writing, and technical communication courses, while also serving as New Mexico Tech's Writing Program Coordinator. In 2008, Julianne moved the e-journal Xchanges to New Mexico Tech from its previous home at Wayne State University, where Julianne founded and edited the journal. The Xchanges journal has now been integrated into TC program at NMT, out of which it is produced, and Julianne's role as editor continues and is supported by TC interns. The journal was featured (with Julianne representing the journal as editor) on panels at the 2009 MLA convention, at the 2010 RMMLA meeting, and has been noted in the journal Kairos. In addition to her record of strong student evaluations, Julianne's work as Xchanges editor demonstrates her long-standing dedication to student success, growth, and excellence, as the journal provides as opportunity for NMT students to participate in the journal-production process at every step, which is very much in keeping with the journal's commitment to publishing excellent work by undergraduate and graduate-level students in TC, Composition and Rhetoric, and WAC.

Having been raised in New Mexico, Julianne relishes the opportunity to serve the students of the Land of Enchantment as a teacher and scholar. When she is not teaching students in the classroom, sitting with students in her office, or seeking out ways to enhance student learning within the university, Julianne devotes herself to ballet, cooking, the Detroit Tigers, and her family's Bedlington Terrier and German Shorthair pointers.
