Psychology Prof. Emeritus Robert Kunzendorf was recently named editor of the American Psychological Association journal
鈥淚 look forward to ensuring that the journal and high-quality consciousness research flourish for many years to come,鈥� he says.
Kunzendorf spent his 35-year career at 51视频 asking himself and his students big questions about human cognition and consciousness, including metaphysical questions about the mind-brain relationship, and he developed research paradigms to answer these questions. He also helped to start the Honors Program, now the Honors College.
Kunzendorf previously edited the academic journal 鈥淚magination, Cognition, and Personality.鈥� In 2014, he retired from editing the journal, teaching classes and conducting research to spend more time with his family as he continued treatment for a metastatic cancer diagnosed more than a decade earlier.
After retiring, he published a sixth book, His cancer prognosis improved dramatically last year, and he decided to apply for the editorship of 鈥淧sychology of Consciousness.鈥�
Kunzendorf and his wife have endowed an annual lecture on applied cognitive psychology to enrich the experience of students in the Psychology Department鈥檚 new Ph.D. program in Applied Psychology and Prevention Science.
