STEPHANIE A. FRYBERG, Ph.D.
Stephanie A. Fryberg (Tulalip; Ph.D., Stanford University, 2003) From the beautiful shores of the Tulalip Indian Reservation... <oops fast forward>... to the golden arches of Stanford University... <oh, not quite yet, keep going>... to the prickly saguaro desert... <ah, here I am> . In 2004, she joined the Psychology Department faculty as an Assistant Professor of Social Psychology. She is also an affiliate faculty in American Indian Studies. She enjoys teaching undergraduate courses on social and cultural psychology and graduate courses on issues of culture, race, and society. Finally, in hopes of appearing to have a well-rounded life, in her freetime, she enjoys swimming, running, hiking, and playing with her dog, Wilbur.In all seriousness, her address focuses on self-understanding-- how thinking about one's self is an unavoidable human activity. For example, who am I? How do I know what is good, moral, or right? What role does culture play in the development of self or identity? How does ?who I am? influence how I behave? My research addresses these questions, with specific attention to how social representations of race, culture, and social class influence psychological well-being, physical health, and educational attainment.
