Daniel Aureliano Newman is an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream in the Department of English and the Director of Graduate Writing Support in the Faculty of Arts and Science. A scholar of twentieth- and twenty-first century British fiction with expertise in narrative theory, his publications include a book on experimental novels and their relation to evolutionary theory, as well as articles on the interplay between literature and science. In writing studies, his research focuses on the role of social writing practices and the perennial problem of giving students effective writing feedback. Renowned for his innovative classroom techniques, he brings the study of textual material to life by pairing it with other media: graphs and charts, visual art, even his own guitar-playing. As Director of Graduate Writing Support, Professor Newman has reached thousands (that’s no exaggeration: thousands) of students across a wide range of graduate programs in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. He communicates a deep understanding of academic genres and, by organizing social writing opportunities, provides inspiration and accountability in equal measure. Participants in his Dissertation Working Groups find them nothing less than transformative: “a turning point for my work as graduate student”; “the best thing that could have happened to my dissertation.” Passionate and knowledgeable, devoted and skillful, Professor Newman is the kind of teacher students aspire to learn from and colleagues aspire to become.
