Julie Townsend Ph.D.

Julie's interests include Interdisciplinary Humanities, Dance Studies, Movement Pedagogy, 19th and 20th century Literature and Visual Art, and Critical Theory. She is most at home when making connections between the literary, visual, and performing arts with students in seminar-style classes. For Julie, "The Johnston Community is a hub of creative, intellectual, and activist work. It's a great place to live and learn." In addition to teaching in Johnston, Julie works collaboratively with First-Generation programs to support the STEP peer mentoring program and serves as the Fulbright Program Advisor for the College of Arts and Sciences.
