About the Author

Before moving to Stanford in 1994, she was a professor at the University of Michigan, where she received her Ph.D. The focus of Dr. Markus' work is the sociological shaping of mind and self. Born in England of English parents and raised in San Diego, California, she has been persistently fascinated by how nation of origin, region of the country, gender, ethnicity, race, religion and social class shape self and identity. With her colleague Shinobu Kitayama at the University of Michigan, Dr. Markus has pioneered the experimental study of how culture and self influence one another. Some of her recent co-edited books include CULTURE AND EMOTION: EMPIRICAL STUDIES OF MUTUAL INFLUENCE, ENGAGING CULTURAL DIFFERENCES: THE MULTICULTURAL CHALLENGE IN LIBERAL DEMOCRACIES and JUST SCHOOLS: PURSUING EQUAL EDUCATION IN SOCIETIES OF DIFFERENCE. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1994 and is a Fellow of APS, APA and Division 8.
