About
Lindsay Chaney
I am an Associate Professor of Biology at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, where my work spans undergraduate teaching, academic leadership, and scholarship. Snow College is an open-enrollment institution serving a largely rural student population, and much of my work has focused on expanding access to high-quality educational experiences and supporting students with diverse backgrounds and levels of academic preparation.
As a faculty member, I teach courses in general biology, environmental biology, genetics, plant biology, and interdisciplinary general education in both in-person and online formats. My interests in teaching and learning include evidence-based biology education, online course design, active and collaborative learning, assessment, and helping students develop the skills they need to succeed in college and beyond.
I have also held a variety of academic leadership roles, including serving as Interim Assistant Provost at Snow College. My administrative work has included curriculum and general education, assessment, faculty development, competency-based education, microcredentials and digital badging, transfer and articulation, program review, and other initiatives focused on improving student learning and strengthening academic programs.
My scholarship spans biology education research and plant evolutionary genetics and ecology. My biological research has focused particularly on how plants respond and adapt to changing or stressful environments, using approaches from ecology, evolution, genetics, and genomics. I earned my PhD in Biology from the University of Cincinnati and subsequently completed postdoctoral research at Brigham Young University and the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station.
