At Wheaton College, our students learn from accomplished scholars and researchers who through theory or practice contribute to their respective fields and society at large. Our faculty members hold advanced or terminal degrees, conduct transformative research, and make significant contributions to society. We encourage, enhance and support faculty research, scholarship and creative works through Wheaton-funded grants.
Our educators make cutting-edge discoveries, publish groundbreaking books and articles, and present creative and academic works across the sciences, arts, humanities, and social science disciplines. Their work, both in the classroom and beyond, inspires our students to be curious about the world and become critical thinkers and writers — which are essential skills for today’s global workforce. Below we celebrate and acknowledge some of the most recent faculty contributions in their fields.
