About me

Introduction	Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Professor Lloyd H. Rogler began his research career as a sociologist studying how families living in the economically impoverished neighborhoods of San Juan coped with mental illness. Through exacting research and experimentation, he has helped achieve legitimacy for the field of cultural psychiatry that it never had when he launched his career more than 40 years ago after receiving a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Iowa. He has had academic appointments at several universities, including the University of Puerto Rico, Yale, and Case Western Reserve. In 1974, Fordham University appointed him the Albert Schweitzer Professor in the Humanities, a Chair established by the Regents of the State of New York. He continued to teach and conduct research, founding the Hispanic Research Center at Fordham University in 1977 and directing it until 1990. He has also taught at Columbia University and at the New York University/Bellevue Center, and has lectured at Harvard and at Cornell University. Dr. Rogler's approach to research is interdisciplinary and covers anthropology, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and history.
