Marilynn Brewer received her Ph.D. in social psychology from Northwestern University in 1968. She joined the psychology faculty at Ohio State University in 1993 as an Ohio State Eminent Scholar in social psychology. Prior to coming to OSU, Dr. Brewer was Professor of Psychology and Director of the Institute for Social Science Research at UCLA. Dr. Brewer's primary research interests within the field of social psychology include (1) social cognition -- the perception and cognitive representation of individual persons and person "types," (2) intergroup relations, especially the study of ingroup loyalty, intergroup biases, and the effects of contact between groups on intergroup acceptance, and (3) social identities and the self concept. During her career, Dr. Brewer has served as President of the American Psychological Society (1993-1995), and as President of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (1990-91) and the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (1984-85). She is a recipient of the 1995 Kurt Lewin Award from SPSSI, the Donald T. Campbell Award for Distinguished Research in Social Psychology in 1992, and the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Society of Experimental Social Psychology in 2004. She has served as editor of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Review, and as Associate Editor of Psychological Review. In 2004 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
