Biography

Professor. B.A., Knox College; M.A., University of New Hampshire; Ph.D., Educational Leadership, Colorado State University

Sue Doe teaches courses in Composition, Autoethnographic Theory and Method, Reading and  Writing Connections, Research Methods, and GTA preparation for writing instruction. She does research in three distinct areas--academic labor and the faculty career, writing across the curriculum, and student-veteran transition in the post-9/11 era. Coauthor of the faculty development book Concepts and Choices: Meeting the Challenges in Higher Education, she has published articles in College English, The WAC Journal, Reflections, and Writing Program Administration (among others) as well as in several book-length collections. Her collection on student-veterans in the Composition classroom, Generation Vet: Composition, Veterans, and the Post-911 University, co-edited with Professor Lisa Langstraat, was published by Utah State Press (an imprint of the University Press of Colorado) in 2014.

From 2020-2023 Sue focused on leading faculty participation in shared governance  while serving as Chair of the Faculty Council. Currently she serves as Executive Director of The Institute for Learning and Teaching. Sue's scholarship has followed this direction, looking at leadership responsibility for the empowerment and valuing of writing instruction and the broader educational mission of colleges and universities.

First Generation Story

I am a proud first-generation college graduate. I graduated from the same college where my father started but  wasn't able to remain due to the grand economic interruption known as the Great Depression.  My mother had no real shot at college but instead was a working woman snd the best copy editor I have ever known. While neither of my parents graduated from college, they were committed to the value of a college education and donated annually to the college I attended well after my graduation. They were both readers and their reading habits were the best role model a college-aspiring first-gen student like myself could hope for!
