Description:

Journeys in Social Psychology consists of personal narrative accounts of the career journeys of some of the world's most eminent social psychologists. Each contributing psychologist is an esteemed scholar, an excellent writer, and has a story to tell. Together, the contributions cover a time range beginning with the work of Morton Deutsch through to the present, and touch upon virtually every important movement and person in the history of academic social psychology by describing their personal career journeys, the significant people and events that influenced their paths, the major turning points, the main decisions, the challenges, the opportunities, and the setbacks they experienced. These chapters chronicle the history of modern social psychology while hoping to shine a light for future social psychologists.
