Publications

The Elkana Center is dedicated to innovative and applied research in higher education and the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). Elkana Center colleagues frequently work together and in partnership with international collaborators to advance research in these fields, as well as to puruse their own research on education and other topics. 

Below, please find a sampling of some of the many recent publications and presentations of Elkana Center faculty and staff. The selection is meant to highlight the diverse facets of colleagues’ work, rather than to be comprehensive. Additional publications can be found via the profiles of the respective colleagues. Current and recent Elkana Center colleagues are bolded in multi-author publications.
