SPEAKER: Corey Keyes, Professor of Sociology at Emory University

Corey Keyes is a professor of Sociology at Emory University where he holds the Winship Distinguished Research Professorship.  He was a member of a MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Midlife Development.  He co-chaired—along with Martin Seligman and the CEO of the Gallup Organization—the First Summit of Positive Psychology held in 1999. Dr. Keyes is a founding member of the Society for the Study of Human Development.  He participated in the National Academies of Science Keck Future’s Initiative on The Future of Human Healthspan, the National Academies of Science workshop for the committee on national statistics to redefine recovery from mental illness, and was a contributing author to the World Health Organization’s publication entitled Mental Health Promotion Worldwide. His research has introduced the concepts of social well-being, flourishing, the two continua model of mental health and illness, and the racial paradox in mental health and illness.  He continues to consult with governments and public health systems around the world and is working to transform the emphasis on treatment of illness to the promotion and protection of positive mental health to prevent mental illness.
