Mark Noonan is a Professor in the Department of English at the School of Arts & Sciences, City University of New York (CUNY), where he maintains an office in N-503. He directs the NEH Summer Institute 'City of Print: New York and the Periodical Press from the Antebellum Era to the Digital Age' (2015) and serves on the Advisory Board of The Research Society for American Periodicals as Founding Editor of the Columbia Journal of American Studies.
His academic credentials include:

- M.A. in American Studies from Columbia University (1996)

Noonan's research centers on American literary and periodical history, with emphasis on 19th-century print culture, journalism evolution, and the sociopolitical dimensions of periodicals. His work interrogates how print media shapes national identity, examining intersections of race, gender, and class through publications like Century Magazine. He extends this historical analysis to contemporary contexts, exploring post-9/11 cultural reconstruction and digital transformations of print media while maintaining focus on Brooklyn's urban literary landscape.
His publication trajectory reveals deepening engagement with periodical studies, progressing from foundational work on 19th-century magazines to analyses of modern print-digital transitions. Recurring themes include the democratization of literary production, institutional influences on publication, and geographic specificity in American literary culture—particularly Brooklyn's role as a cultural incubator. This cohesive scholarly arc bridges historical periodical analysis with urgent contemporary media studies questions.
Professor Noonan teaches core courses including Introduction to Journalism, American Literature I/II, and Perspectives on Literature, alongside specialized offerings like Progressive Voices in American Literature and EG1101/EG1121 composition sequences. His pedagogical approach integrates historical print culture with modern journalistic practice.
