CAS Sweeps Excellence in Scholarship

The winner of this year's Ashland University Excellence in Scholarship Award is Dr. Craig Hovey, Professor of Religion.

The two semi-finalists are Dr. Chris Chartier, Associate Professor of Psychology, and Dr. John Moser, Professor of History.

The award, which consists of a medal to be worn with regalia and a $3,000 honorarium, recognizes AU faculty who have demonstrated outstanding scholarship. All AU faculty who have completed their third-year review (with the exception of past recipients and Trustees’ Distinguished Professors) may be nominated for the award.

To qualify, a faculty member’s scholarship must be demonstrated by outstanding scholarly contributions, including scholarly written work, creative work and other scholarly distinctions.

He teaches courses in General Psychology I, Research Methods, Advanced Research Methods and Social Psychology and has been published in research journals such as Science, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science. His research interests include tacit coordination and pro-social behavior.
