Publish & Flourish is an annual event co-hosted by UWT Library, Office of Research, and the bookstore that recognizes the accomplishments of our staff and faculty who have published within the past year.  Because of social distancing, we are not able to hold an in-person celebration at this time, but we very much hope to raise a glass with all of you in celebration at the first safe in-person opportunity.

Congratulations, we are proud of your accomplishments . . .

SIAS Politics, Philosophy, and Public Affairs Professor Etga Ugur!  “This well-written and richly researched study provides an indispensable account of the public policies of two controversial religious movements—the Mormon Church in America and the Gülen movement in Turkey. It concludes that their differing political stands are in part due to their differing political and religious contexts.

Milgard School of Business Professor Eugene Sivadas!  The omni-channel is different from the multi-channel. It recognizes not only that customers access goods and services in multiple ways, but also that they are likely doing this at the same time; comparing prices on multiple websites, and seamlessly switching between mobile and desktop devices. With the strong theoretical foundation that users have come to expect, Marketing Channel Strategy:  An Omni Channel Approach also offers lots of practical exercises and applications to help students understand how to design and implement omni-channel strategies in reality.  Read more here about the work Professor Sivadas has done on omni-channels in marketing!
