Dr. Sherry L. Beaumont received funding from the O’Brien Foundation to complete graduate studies at the University of Waterloo, where she was granted a Ph.D. in Psychology in 1993. She is currently a Full Professor at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) where she teaches and conducts research in the areas of positive psychology and lifespan development. She has held research grants, published, and supervised many graduate students in the areas of self-identity and emotional well-being across the lifespan. Most recently, her research has investigated the role of self-identity for the development of wisdom, spirituality, and life meaning. Her research articles have been published in scholarly journals, such as Identity: An International Journal of Theory and Research and the Journal of Adult Development, and have been featured in media sources, such as the University of Chicago’s “Defining Wisdom Research Network.” Most recently, Dr. Beaumont is in the process of developing an intervention for positive identity development during emerging adulthood that focuses on the benefits of self-expression using verbal and visual imagery. This research will incorporate her recent training in art therapy. For more information, see http://web.unbc.ca/~beaumont/.
