Most recently, she published an article on nineteenth-century Mexican American woman writer Mar\u00eda Amparo Ruiz de Burton in&nbsp;<em>Western American Literature<\/em>&nbsp;(vol. 52, no. 4), and her other scholarship considers the work of early twentieth-century Tejana writers Adina De Zavala and Jovita Gonz\u00e1lez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before joining Schreiner, Lowrance took a faculty position at Cisco College in Spring 2021.&nbsp;Lowrance\u2019s newest position as a tenure-track Assistant Professor includes teaching both Freshman and upper-level writing and literature classes ranging from Composition I &amp; II to Advanced Topics in American literature.
