    Biography

    Professor Ashley Bowers Clark teaches and conducts research on survey methods and serves in a lead methodologist role on research studies. Her primary research interests include survey methodology, human resource management (including management of contingent employees), and positive organizational scholarship.

    Prior to joining IU in 2011, Clark spent more than 15 years directing survey operations and leading survey research projects at the University of Michigan and the University of North Carolina. Clark is currently conducting research on attitudes toward shale gas development as part of O'Neill’s Shale Gas Working Research Group and has co-authored articles on public support for road mileage user fees with O'Neill colleagues Denvil Duncan and Dean John Graham. She served as sampling statistician and methodological consultant for a 2013 book co-authored with O'Neill colleague Beth Gazley: What Makes High-Performing Boards: Effective Governance Practices in Member-Serving Organizations. Clark's research on nonresponse error and interviewer turnover has been presented at the American Statistical Association's Joint Statistical Meetings and the American Association for Public Opinion Research Conference.

    Clark directs the Center for Survey Research, a research facility of the Office of the Vice Provost for Research. The Center provides research design and data collection services for academic, nonprofit and for-profit clients. She has authored or co-authored several technical research reports at the Center. She also provides pro bono research consultation to individuals, groups, and nonprofits in the local community through her survey research class and role at the Center.
