Sheldon Solomon
Sheldon Solomon is a social psychologist at Skidmore College. He earned his B.A. from Franklin and Marshall College and his doctoral degree from the University of Kansas. He is best known for developing terror management theory, along with Jeff Greenberg and Tom Pyszczynski which is concerned with how humans deal with their own sense of mortality.
Solomon is the Ross Professor for Interdisciplinary Studies at Skidmore.
He is the author or co-author of over a hundred articles and several books, and he has been featured in several films and television documentaries as well as countless radio interviews. He is also co-founder of Esperanto, a restaurant in Saratoga Springs, and inventor of the "doughboy", dough filled with cheese, chicken and spices.
Sheldon Solomon co-authored the book The Worm at the Core: On the role of Death in Life with Jeff Greenberg and Tom Pyszczynski.
Solomon is one of the interviewees in the documentary Planet of the Humans, whereby he links the pursuit of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, to the reluctance of humans to face their own mortality.External Links
