Julie Doxsee

Julie Doxsee is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at Harrisburg University, a position she has held since relocating to Pennsylvania in 2016 following a nine-year residence in Turkey. She holds a PhD in English and Creative Writing from the University of Denver (2007) and an MFA in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2002).
