Our internationally recognized faculty conduct high-level scholarship, present at national and international conferences, and publish with prominent journals and academic presses, bridging the gap between scholarly research and current practice to prepare confident graduates with the ability to change the world.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
Why It’s Hard to House the Homeless
In his new book, Associate Professor Curt Smith highlights how current housing policies hinder, rather than help, people experiencing homelessness. He also celebrates the efforts of “red-tape warriors” — the committed and compassionate social service workers who help their clients navigate bureaucratic obstacles.
The Power of Perceptions
An internationally recognized scientist, scholar and innovator in the field of haptic technology, Associate Professor Mounia Ziat is currently working on two innovative research projects, funded by grants from the U.S. Air Force and the National Science Foundation.
How Sexism Sustains the Gender Pay Gap
New research from Stanton Professor of Finance Kristi Minnick indicates there are significant — and systemic — reasons why the gender pay gap exists: “Gender wage differentials are directly attributable to a population’s cultural beliefs and attitudes toward women.”
