Kevin M. Bonney

Clinical Associate Professor

Kevin M. Bonney is Assistant Dean of Faculty Development and Program Advancement and Clinical Assistant Professor in Liberal Studies. Dr. Bonney earned his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from Northwestern University where his research focused on the immunopathology of Chagas disease. His work has been published in a number of academic journals including the American Journal of Pathology, Current Molecular Medicine, the Journal of Microbiology and Biology Education, Parasite, and PloS One. Among his recent publications is a textbook titled Biology: Textbook and Activities for the Flipped Classroom (Cognella Publishing, 2017), which uses case studies and other active learning strategies to facilitate the flipped classroom teaching method. His current scholarly interests include neglected tropical diseases, biology education research, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Dr. Bonney is also actively involved in promoting use of inclusive pedagogy and instructional technology, and in strengthening connections between science education and liberal arts.
