Leslie Zebrowitz - Teachers Make a Difference - Charles A. Kiesler

The speaker reflects on the profound influence of Keesler, a founding figure in psychology, who was not her formal advisor but a significant mentor. Keesler encouraged her to conduct and publish her first experiment, which shaped her career in social psychology. His mentorship extended beyond academia, offering guidance on balancing a career with motherhood, a topic rarely discussed at the time. His support and the role model provided by his wife, Sarah, were crucial in her successful academic and personal life.
