郭保山教授和杜爾琦教授堪稱為心理學界的長青樹。郭保山教授於1960年在紐約大學取得博士學位後,隨即加入美國人類工程實驗室擔任研究心理學家。他在1963年獲普林斯頓大學禮聘執教,七年後晉升教授,並於1974至1980年間出任心理學系系主任。郭保山教授在心理學界貢獻良多,歷任美國心理學會實驗心理學分組(Division of Experimental Psychology, American Psychological Association)主席、 《Psychological Science》及《Journal of

Experimental Psychology: General》等著名學術期刊編輯。除了研究成就突出之外,他在教學方面亦同樣出色。在普林斯頓大學,郭保山教授任教的心理學概論是最受學生歡迎的課程之一,他並聯同學系其他老師合撰教材,影響至廣。

 

杜爾琦教授於1967年獲美國德州大學(University of Texas)社會科學博士銜,並於著名學府出任教授,包括萊特州立大學(Wright State University)、普渡大學(Purdue University)及紐約市立大學研究生中心等。她是社會心理學權威,在性別(gender)及移居(immigration)兩項研究中有開創性發現。隨著全球化年代的到臨,移居變成重要的研究課題,了解移民各方面的心理經歷有著深遠的意義,尤其是有關政策的制訂。杜爾琦教授的研究獲羅素睿智基金會(Russell Sage Foundation)贊助及出版,該基金會是資助美國有關社會科學研究的首要機構。她的事業亦體現在心理科學學會(Association for Psychological Science; 前稱美國心理學會)的工作,包括於1993至96年擔任理事及1997至98年出任會長;該會是推動以科學方法從事心理學研究的重要學術機構。

 

郭保山教授及杜爾琦教授於是次訪問期間,將分別主持個人公開講座,講題及詳情如下:

Distinguished Visiting Scholars——Professor Sam Glucksberg and Professor Kay Deaux

 

Professor Sam Glucksberg, Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology, Princeton University and Professor Kay Deaux, Professor Emerita of Psychology, Graduate Center of the City University of New York, will visit Hong Kong between 15 and 30 October 2010 as the College’s Distinguished Visiting Scholars in 2010-11.

 

Professor Glucksberg and Professor Deaux is a scholar-couple and are evergreens. Professor Glucksberg obtained his doctoral degree from New York University in 1960, and started his career as a research psychologist in the US Army Human Engineering Laboratories where he worked for three years, before joining Princeton in 1963. In 1970 he became professor and served as the department chair between 1974 and 1980. Highlights of his professional activities include Presidency of the Division of Experimental Psychology, the American Psychological Association; and Editorship of the journals Psychological Science, and Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. Professor Glucksberg is also a renowned teacher, his introductory course in psychology was one of the most popular courses at Princeton, and he co-wrote an influential introductory text with Princeton colleagues.

 

Professor Deaux obtained her PhD in social Science from the University of Texas in 1967, and held professorships at Wright State University, Purdue University, and the City University of New York Graduate Center. She is a social psychologist renowned for her groundbreaking research on two major psychological areas: gender and immigration. While many are embracing the age of globalization, immigration has, in parallel, become a crucial topic of investigation. An understanding of multifaceted psychological experiences of immigrants would have far-reaching consequences, particularly in policy making.  Her researches have been supported and published by the Russell Sage Foundation, the principal American Foundation devoted exclusively to research in the social sciences. Deaux’s career is her involvement with the American Psychological Society (now the Association for Psychological Science), the premier academic society for advancing scientifically-oriented psychological researches: she was on the Board of Directors from 1993 to 1996, and its President in 1997-98.

 

During their visit to United College, each of the scholar will deliver one public lecture.  The details are as follows:

Professor Deaux:  To Be an Immigrant: Changing Places and Faces   

                                 Thursday, 21 October 2010, 4:30 p.m.
