SALISBURY, MD – Salisbury University celebrates the following recent faculty achievements:
Chambers Publishes Beer Regulations Study
A study on beer regulations in every state, co-authored by Dr. Dustin Chambers, professor of economics, has attracted attention from media and craft beer enthusiasts nationwide.
Released by Utah State University’s Center for Growth and Opportunity, “The Economic Geography of Beer Regulations” showed California, by far, places the most restrictions on brewers and retailers, with those from South Dakota incurring the least.
Co-authors with Chambers were Drs. Trey Malone, assistant professor in the Michigan State University Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics; and Aaron Staples, Michigan State University Ph.D. student.
Han, Leasure Named CEJI Faculty Fellows
The SU Office of Diversity and Inclusion announced Drs. Eun-Jeong Han, assistant professor of communication, and T. Ross Leasure, professor of English, as the first SU Center for Equity, Justice and Inclusion (CEJI) Faculty Fellows.
Han’s research is in intercultural communication. She has an interest in amplifying Asian American and Pacific Islander voices, as well as community intersectionality through programming and experiential learning opportunities in the CEJI.
Leasure, faculty advisor of SU’s LGBTQ+ Resource Center for the past eight years, teaches courses and has research interests in queer literature and history.
