Connected Conversations | Mark Kohler
The first in his family to go to university, Dr Mark Kohler arrived in Adelaide from rural Tasmania with $2000 in his pocket and a dream to study psychology. His unbridled curiosity and interest in discovering the ‘whys’ of life had prompted his father to suggest a career as a psychologist. Hindsight shows it was a sage suggestion and today, Mark is Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology—proving that, sometimes, parents really do know best. Now with five children of his own, Mark intertwines teaching and inspiring the next generation of psychology students with research endeavours focused on child wellbeing and learning.
