Ohio Northern University honored by education resource website

Posted by Staff on Friday, January 12, 2024

Ohio Northern University has been recognized by www.CollegesofDistinction.com for the 2023-2024 academic year. Colleges of Distinction is a resource guide and consortium that honors colleges and universities throughout the United States for educational excellence.

Colleges of Distinction’s selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools, accepting only those that adhere to the "Four Distinctions": engaged students, great teaching, vibrant community, and successful outcomes.

To be named a College of Distinction, ONU demonstrated excellence in undergraduate education in such factors as student engagement, teaching excellence, outcomes-based learning, and community involvement. This evaluation process differs from those of popular college rankings publications, whose formulas grade institutions based on things like faculty salaries, endowment size and peer opinion.

Publications showcase ONU Arts & Sciences faculty research, interests

Posted by Staff on Thursday, December 21, 2023

Publications by Dowland, Hartman, Person, Pullen, Sen and Strittmatter

Six Ohio Northern University Getty College of Arts and Sciences faculty are celebrating recently published and soon-to-be published critical and creative works on topics ranging from ethics to England.

Douglas Dowland, Ph.D., associate professor of English
We, Us, and Them: Affect and American Nonfiction from Vietnam to Trump
Publication date: March 2024, University of Virginia Press

Dowland’s book explores how some authors answer the question "What is America?" in a way that creates an America of "us" versus "them." From John Steinbeck’s hawkish enthusiasm for the Vietnam War to David Sedaris’s wry perspective on the rise of Donald Trump to the presidency, the book uncovers the worrisome emotions that underpin narratives of American strength.

“What I would like readers to walk away with is the idea that the strength of our convictions too often proves to be our greatest weakness,” Dowland said.
