American Literary Studies graduate Erin Murrah-Mandril has
accepted a tenure-track position as assistant professor of English at the
University of Texas at Arlington, where she will also be a Faculty Associate
for the Center for Mexican American Studies. She will be teaching American and
Mexican American literatures. Located in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro
area, UT-Arlington is the second largest university in the UT system and is
classified as a Hispanic Serving Institution and as a “high research activity”
institution by the Carnegie Foundation. Dr. Murrah-Mandril would like to thank
Dr. Jesse Alemán for his professional guidance over the years, particularly his
advice concerning her three peer-reviewed articles and her dissertation, “Out
of Time: Temporal Colonization and the Writing of Mexican American
Subjectivity.” She would also like to thank Dr. Jonathan Davis-Secord, who led
the UNM English Job Seeker’s Workshop in Fall 2014, and the many other faculty
members who participated in these workshops. Erin looks forward to working
within close proximity to many excellent Texas archives, though she will miss
her home state of New Mexico tremendously. Please feel free to send green chili
to her new UTA address!
