Abramson is a Regents Professor of Psychology at Oklahoma State Uni versity. He earned his Ph.D. in Psychology from Boston University in 1986 and joined the faculty of Oklahoma State University in 1993. Trained as a comparative-physiological psychologist\, he specializes in studying a wide range of behavior in over 40 organisms as diverse as ants\, bees\, crabs earthworms\, elephants\, fish\, flatworms\, horses\, humans\, llamas\, rat s\, and snakes\, He has been recognized widely for his research and teachi ng and is the current Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Comp arative Psychology.\n\nAbstract: Dr. Charles Henry Turner was an African-A merican scientist who\, while earning a living as a high school science te acher\, made important contributions to the study of insect learning and b ehavior. Contributions include the development of research methods\, inves tigations of color- and pattern-vision in honey bees\, and the first demon stration of Pavlovian conditioning in an insect. Our discussion begins wit h a biography and continues with a summary of his major research areas\, i ncluding his contributions to civil rights. Also included are quotes from people who knew him. Additionally\, I will address the question as to why Turner did not receive a university appointment and discuss some of the ch allenges he overcame in the pursuit of his career. I close by suggesting t hat Dr. Turner's life is truly a study in inspiration.\n\n[www.Sigmaxi.org /unm](http://www.sigmaxi.org/unm)\n\nCo-sponsored by: UNM Sigma Xi Chapter \n\nSpeaker(s): \, Charles\n\nRoom: 1100\, UNM Dept. of Physics\, Astronom y\, & Interdisciplinary Research\, Albuquerque\, New Mexico\, United State s\, 87106\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/479671 LOCATION:Room: 1100\, UNM Dept. of Physics\, Astronomy\, & Interdisciplinar y Research\, Albuquerque\, New Mexico\, United States\, 87106\, Virtual: h ttps://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/479671 ORGANIZER:l.rashkin.2014@ieee.org SEQUENCE:13 SUMMARY:Science & Society Public Lecture URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/479671 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><strong>P rejudice in Psychology: The Case of Charles H.
