The Allen L. Edwards Lectureship
Professor Allen Edwards was affiliated with the University of Washington Department of Psychology for half of a century, from his arrival in Seattle in 1944 as an Associate Professor to his death in 1994. Edwards was an outstanding teacher, researcher, and writer who is credited with changing the way modern psychological research is conducted by introducing modern statistical techniques into the science. Three of his seven books are considered landmarks in the field.
Edwards is also known for developing personality tests, in particular the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS), which was designed to eliminate the test-taker's bias toward socially desirable answers. Edwards endowed the Edwards Lectureship to bring nationally and internationally renowned psychologists to campus for short visits to interact with faculty and students. The first Edwards Lecture was delivered by by Professor Mark Pagel of University of Reading, England, on May 24, 1999. Pagel was a student of Edwards and holds a Ph.D. degree from the UW Psychology department. Since the inaugural Edwards Lecture, we have hosted an impressive list of distinguished speakers.
