Bio summary

Professor Kenrick is described as “an elite undergraduate (and graduate) educator. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, not only in his own sub-disciplines of social, personality, and evolutionary psychology, but in psychology more broadly and in related disciplines (i.e., anthropology, evolutionary biology). He has authored successful textbooks, including one text soon to be in its seventh edition. And he has been doing all this consistently for 40 years, all while being a renowned and productive scholar, responsible for seminal research findings and shaping the direction of his field.”
