Psychology

Each year the Psychology Department at Baldwin Wallace University invites a distinguished psychologist to the campus for lectures and personal interaction with students and faculty. The program is based on a generous endowment to the Department in honor of Kathryn Grover Harrington and Robert A. Harrington.

Dr. Barry Schwartz, BW’s 2012-2013 Kathryn Grover Harrington & Robert A. Harrington Distinguished Visiting Professor, will present "Practical Wisdom: The Right Way to Do the Right Thing" to the Baldwin Wallace community on Thursday, September 27 at 8 p.m. in the John Patrick Theatre.  Dr. Schwartz will sign copies of his books at a reception in the theater lobby immediately following his program. Dr. Schwartz is currently the Dorwin Cartwright Professor of Social Theory and Social Action at Swarthmore College, specializing in Psychology and Economics.
