Abstract

Presents an obituary for Sherri McCarthy (1958-2017). A Professor of Educational Psychology at Northern Arizona University-Yuma, Sherry was instrumental in establishing their Human Relations Graduate Program. She was a fellow of Division 52 (International Psychology) of the American Psychological Association and active in Divisions 2 (Teaching of Psychology) and 48 (Peace Psychology). Sherri was particularly involved in service-oriented, community-oriented, and humanity-oriented fields of psychology, and was a tireless collaborator on research, educational, and counseling projects around the world. She was a leader and cofounder of the series of international conferences on psychology education that began in St. Petersburg, Russia (2002). Sherri's editorial leadership produced three volumes, Teaching of Psychology Around the World (2007, 2009, 2012). Her commitment to international peace and human rights is well illustrated by her substantial contributions to the Springer Peace series volumes on International Handbook on War, Torture, and Terrorism (2013; as coeditor and chapter author) and International Handbook on Peace and Reconciliation (2013) to which she contributed extensively.
