Hazel Rose Markus is the Davis-Brack Professor in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. She codirects Stanford SPARQ (Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions) and was previously the director of the Research Institute of the Stanford Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Before moving to Stanford in 1994, she was a professor at the University of Michigan, where she received her Ph D. Her work focuses on how the self-system, including current conceptions of self and possible selves, lends meaning and structure to experience. Born in England and raised in San Diego, 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, she has pioneered the experimental study of how culture and self influence one another. Markus is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the British Academy, and she is the recipient of the APA award for Distinguished Scientific Contribution and the APS William James Award for Lifetime Achievement. Some of her recent coedited and coauthored books include Culture and Emotion: Empirical Studies of Mutual Influence, Engaging Cultural Differences: The Multicultural Challenge in Liberal Democracies, Just Schools: Pursuing Equal Education in Societies of Difference, Doing Race: 21 Essays for the 21st Century, and Clash! How to Thrive in a Multicultural World.
