On Thursday, September 13 we kicked off our year long series of programs entitled, ?Art and Self Perception.?? Our keynote speaker was Dr. Sheldon Stryker who spoke on ?The Travels of Self and Identity Theory: From Packing the Suitcases to Brief Visits to Ports Close (Other Orientations to Social Psychology and Other Fields of Interest Within Sociology, Other Social Sciences) and Distant (Art, Evolutionary Neurology, Structural Linguistics, Contemporary Cognitive Psychology)? .

Dr. Sheldon Stryker has served in multiple leadership roles at Indiana University since he began his tenure in 1951, most importantly, serving as Director, from 1977-2000, of the National Institute of Medical Health (NIMH) sponsored Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Training Program in Social Psychology. His current research focuses on extending Identity Theory, on applying that theory to social movement phenomena, and on advancing the project of meeting the responsibility of a sociological social psychology to examine social psychological processes in their social structural contexts.

According to Bridget Welch, Assistant Professor of Sociology, ?The Department of Sociology and Anthropology is delighted to work with University Libraries to bring Dr. Stryker to Western Illinois University. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to hear from the theorist who developed structural symbolic interaction and has extended social psychology into so many other fields.?
