Christopher Darren Green is professor of psychology at York University in Toronto, Canada. He is cross-appointed to the departments of philosophy and science and technology studies as well. His research has mostly been about the history of psychology, though he occasionally writes on theoretical and philosophical issues. Green is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and is a past president of its Division 26, the Society for the History of Psychology. He was editor of the ''Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences'', the oldest scholarly journal in the field, 2006-2008. His graduate training was in psychological aesthetics and computational cognitive science. ==Early life== TGreen was born in Sacramento, California in 1959. His father, a native of San Francisco, was an undergraduate student of English and drama at the time. His mother had been born in Ohio and raised near Detroit, Michigan, though she moved to California in the early 1950s. FA year after his birth, Green's family moved Salt Lake City, Utah, where his father worked at an explosives plant for two years. The plant suffered a catastrophic explosion in 1962, and the family moved back to the San Francisco Bay Area, living in various suburbs in the south bay -- San Carlos, San Bruno, Palo Alto, Cupertino. His father earned an MA part-time at San Jose State University and was accepted into the doctoral program in drama at Stanford University in 1970. The family moved to campus and lived in student housing at Escondido Village throughout the early 1970s. Green, who had gone to a different school nearly every year of his childhood, attended Lewis M. Terman Jr. High School (now Terman Middle School), just off the Stanford campus, for grades 7 through 9. In 5th grade he had taken up the trumpet, which his maternal grandfather had played professionally. Green played with a variety of bands and orchestras in school. His father completed his doctorate in 1974 and took a professorship across the continent at Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Québec. Green attended Alexander Galt Regional High School there for grades 10 and 11. He also learned several trades around the university's theater. Although he did a little acting, he mainly worked on the technical side, doing set-building, lighting, and sound. In 1976, Green moved to the Montréal area to attend Vanier CEGEP where he earned a Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) in music with a specialization in jazz. While at Vanier, he supported himself working at a McDonald's and a Harvey's (fast food hamburger restaurant) in the downtown core. Starting in 1979, he attended McGill University, in the faculty of music. He took two courses on physical acoustics and psycho-acoustics in the physics department, in addition to his required music courses. By the end of the year, however, he had become disenchanted with the department and with his future prospects as a professional musician. He transferred to the department of psychology for no firm reason other than to get out of music and into a large department where he could pass more anonymously. He did not do terribly well, earning a C in introductory psychology and a D in statistics. He was quite fond of cognitive psychology, however, which he took from (Tony Marley ). He also took courses in symbolic logic from a young (Anil Gupta ) (who later went on to prominence in the field of logic at Indiana University and the University of Pittsburgh), and a political theory course co-taught by four professors of different political persuasions. In both CEGEP and university, Green served as a disk jockey at the student radio stations. After one year in psychology, Green dropped out of university entirely. He lived in the McGill "student ghetto," busked guitar in McGill Metro Station, and worked part-time as a pot-washer and vegetable-chopper in a McGill residence cafeteria. During the summer of 1982, he moved back to his parents' home in Lennoxville and enrolled at Bishop's University to finish his psychology degree. His honours thesis supervisor was Anton DeMan. Another of his primary mentors was Stuart McKelvie. Green also worked in the theater, served as copy editor for the student newspaper (''The Campus'') and, in his second year, won the presidency of the Bishop's Student Council. When he completed his degree in 1984, he applied to several graduate programs in psychology, but was not accepted to any. He was offered a job as a lighting operator at Magnus Theatre in Thunder Bay, Ontario, but decided to remain at Bishop's instead for the 1984-85 school year, where he spent most of his time working as a lighting and sound assistant at the university theater. It was in this capacity that he was the sound operator for a concert played by the legendary blues musician, Brownie McGee, who teamed up with a local man, Harmonica Zeke, for a one-night show. Green also wrote a political column for ''The Campus'' under the pseudonym "#9." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christopher D. Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
