Bio
Dr. Christy Goldsmith is an Associate Director of the Campus Writing Program and an Assistant Teaching Professor of English Education at the University of Missouri. Christy’s research trajectory takes two paths. Through her narrative inquiry into English teachers’ identities as writers and as teachers-of-writing, she explores the tensions inherent in teaching writing in secondary schools. Her second strand of research revolves around the teaching and learning of disciplinary literacy, including professional development design at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Prior to her position as CWP Associate Director, Dr. Goldsmith taught high school English for eight years. She earned her PhD in English education from Mizzou, and she continues to teach courses in English education, disciplinary literacy, and graduate writing.
