From the Provost
DR. QUENTIN KIDD
The mission of Christopher Newport states, in part, “Our primary focus is excellence in teaching, inspired by sound scholarship.” This one sentence embodies the teacher-scholar ideals of Christopher Newport. In order for the teacher-scholar model to be effective, both scholarship and teaching must be supported. For faculty, scholarly research informs quality teaching and thus benefits our students. Faculty at Christopher Newport are not teachers and scholars, we are teacher-scholars.
This is the first of what is planned to be an annual publication that celebrates the teaching, scholarship, and creative achievements of Christopher Newport’s faculty. We are a faculty who are daily pursuing scholarship and creative activities ranging from new creative productions and exhibitions to studies of the human condition to important scientific contributions. And while nearly all of the scholarship finds its way into the classroom, much of it is also conducted and produced with students.
We are an amazingly productive faculty. This 2022 report covers the academic year 2021-2022. This report describes nearly a dozen books and monographs, and nearly three dozen book chapters published by some of the top academic presses in the world. It describes nearly 100 refereed journal articles and hundreds of creative works and other publications and scholarly contributions.
Let’s celebrate our faculty award winners and the body of scholarship produced by our faculty during the academic year 2021-2022.
