Crafting Your Narrative: An Interview with Olin College’s Jonathan Adler

In this episode, host Dave Goldberg is joined by Jonathan Adler, Associate Professor of Psychology at the Olin College of Engineering, who specializes in identity development in adulthood and the relationships between identity and psychological well-being. College is a period of immense identity development for many people and as Olin’s President, Rick Miller, often says, undergraduate engineering programs need to produce people with particular mindsets, not just people who know certain content. Join Jonathan and Dave as they chat about personal identity, how it develops over time, and the importance of shaping that narrative during the formative college years.
