Christina Sutton is a senior teaching instructor in Colorado State University’s English Department. She earned her secondary degree in English from CSU in 1991 and taught for several years in the Department. Then, she applied her teaching interests to a business setting, supporting local and state-side businesses as they ramped up their use of technology.
Having returned to teaching at CSU in 1998, she continues to actively investigate and use composition theory while teaching upper-division courses, most notably writing in the sciences. Her recent professional passion is STEM communication, and she lives out this passion by inspiring undergraduate and graduate scientists to communicate effectively in different contexts. She recently compiled Rhetorical Readings for the Science Writer, a text that supports scientists as they answer the calls to communicate their science.
