Tracey Miller-Tomlinson
Associate Professor of English, NMSU, PhD Yale University, tomlin@nmsu.edu
Tracey Miller-Tomlinson is an Associate Professor of English at New Mexico State University, where she has taught since 2002. She received her PhD at Yale and MPhil at Oxford as a Marshall Scholar. Her primary research interests lie in the poetry and drama of the English Renaissance, with particular emphasis on the theater as a site for the reimagining of the past and shaping of public memory. Her current book project explains how the early modern vogue for English history plays served as an enduring forum for public debate in a period of rapid cultural and political change. In other research she has focused on how the drama of the period represents two fronts of cultural change—the emergence of English nationalism and rise of a recognizably modern gender-sex system. She also writes and publishes in the fields of queer studies and early modern cultural studies. A two-time finalist for the university-wide Patricia Christmore Faculty Teaching Award, Dr. Miller-Tomlinson was recognized as a researcher with a College of Arts and Sciences Faculty Outstanding Achievement Award in 2008. She has served as Associate Dean of Honors and Director of NMSU’s Office of National Scholarships and International Education, and is currently Director of Graduate Studies in English.
