Biography

[edit]

Trickett was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. At a young age he moved to Washington, D.C., where was raised by his grandparents and aunt. He was educated at Beauvoir School and St. Albans School[1] in D.C. before going to Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, for his undergraduate studies[2] and The Ohio State University for his postgraduate work.[2]

Academic career

[edit]

Trickett subsequently held faculty positions at Yale University, the University of Maryland, College Park, and the University of Illinois Chicago.[2] Trickett had served as Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Community Psychology and received awards for distinguished contributions to the field. The journal referred to him as a pioneer in community psychology [3].

Musical career

[edit]

As well as his academic career, Trickett was "a well-loved musician in the folk music community".[2] Having sung as a child in the choir at Washington National Cathedral, he was inspired by the harmonies to create arrangements. Subsequently, he appeared on over 40 recordings with Folk-Legacy Records, now held at the Smithsonian Institution.[2] As well as 4 solo records, he released 11 records as a trio with Gordon Bok and Ann Mayo Muir and several other recordings with other artists.[2] In an 2015 interview, he stated that he had to take time off from his first week as assistant professor at Yale in order to perform at Woodstock.[2]
