Julier earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Iowa. Her scholarly writing is concerned with the ways narrative mediates the relationship between marginality and empowerment. Julier's publications include "Community-Service Pedagogy" in Composition Pedagogies: A Bibliographic Guide (Oxford UP, 2000) and "Voices from the Line: The Clothesline Project as Healing Text" in Writing and Healing: Towards an Informed Practice (NCTE Press, 2000). She has also published several chapters and articles on service learning pedagogy, and on the essayist Joan Didion. One ongoing research project concerns 300 years of literary and cultural representations of the captivity and escape of Hannah Duston. Her most recent writing has been a return to literary nonfiction.
Julier was given the Michigan Campus Compact Community Service Learning Award for Outstanding Faculty in 1995, and was a 1993-1994 Lilly Endowment Teaching Fellow.
