Jason Ware is a Clinical Associate Professor in Purdue University's Honors College. He centers community well-being in his research, and investigates the impact and educational effect of developing quality-of-life indicators with communities at the neighborhood and institutional level. Jason's research also includes exploring the effect of undergraduate research on students' ability to think analytically as well as their propensity to address problems from varying disciplinary perspectives.
My engagement involves collaborating with city officials, non-profit organizations, and local residents, all within the city of Lafayette Indiana, to measure and impact positively community, social, and physical well-being.
Most of my recent scholarship is focused on three areas of well-being: 1) community, 2) social, and 3) physical. I pursue these lines of inquiry through my service-learning courses and my research groups, and translate the results and tools that come from this research into resources for my community partners—which is to say, my research links directly to my engagement.
