Baron
Perlman received his BA from Lawrence University and his
PhD in clinical psychology from Michigan State University in
1974. He is both a Rosebush and University Professor in the
Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin
Oshkosh and a Fellow in APA's Society For the Teaching of
Psychology (Division 2). He has a long standing interest and
involvement in the development of faculty, and chaired the
university's Faculty Development Board and was a Mentoring
Committee member. He is co-author of three books: The
Academic Intrapreneur (with Jim Gueths and Don
Weber, 1988, Praeger), Organizational
Entrepreneurship (with Jeffrey R. Cornwall, 1990,
Irwin), and Recruiting Good College Faculty: Practical
Advice for a Successful Search (with Lee McCann,
1996, Anker). He is editor of the Teaching
Tips column in the APS Observer. The
columns recently appeared in book form, Lessons
Learned: Practical Advice for the Teaching of
Psychology (Perlman, McCann, & McFadden, Eds.)
published by the American Psychological Society (1999). His
current research focuses on undergraduate teaching from two
perspectives. The first illuminates the teaching preparation
and ongoing mentoring and development of faculty who teach,
and the place of teaching in the recruitment process. Recent
University of Wisconsin Undergraduate Teaching Improvement
Council and APA Division 2 grants supported work with UW
Oshkosh faculty and the writing of a training manual,
Peer Review of Teaching (with Lee McCann). The
second provides curricular data useful for individual
faculty and departments in their policies, curricular
decisions and undergraduate teaching. Two journal articles
presenting a national study of the undergraduate psychology
curriculum recently appeared in Teaching of
Psychology (with Lee McCann) supported by a grant
from the APA.
