Marilyn Brewer

“In Retrospect… (Brewer 2011), she writes that because much of her family did not attend college, she would not have considered a graduate degree had she not had the support and encouragement of Jean Driscoll.”

“I believe that everything I learned from personality and social psychology can be brought to bear to pursue a more fair, inclusive, and sustainable society.”

“Throughout my academic career, my lab group always included undergraduate students who worked with graduate students to plan, conduct, and interpret research projects and results. I felt it was important that motivated students get involved in the full range of research design, from shaping the research question to operationalization to implementation and analysis.”

“Very fortuitous because from Day 1 of my graduate training I realized that studying the interface between the individual and the social world was the niche that suited me perfectly.”
