Biography

Dr. Glenn F. Cartwright is a psychologist,  Professor in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology and former Dean (interim) of the Centre for Continuing Education at McGill University  in Montreal. 

A pioneer in educational computer applications, he introduced large-scale computer assisted instruction to Quebec and McGill some 35 years ago. Specializing in computer-assisted instruction, after completing his doctorate in Educational Psychology at the University of Alberta, he returned to McGill to develop educational computer applications in the Faculty of Education and throughout the university.  He was the founding Director of several teaching labs in the Faculty of Education including the Division of Educational Computer Applications, and the Computer-Based Instructional Research Lab (CBIRL). 

His research interests in computer applications in education  currently centres on consciousness and virtual reality.   As a psychologist, he has written and lectured widely on Parental Alienation Syndrome and was a founding member of the Professional and Scientific Advisory Committee of the Parental Alienation Syndrome Research Foundation in Washington, DC.  A noted public speaker, he was for many years a professional level member of the National Speakers Association. 

In addition to technology, he is deeply interested in in International Education and consults widely in a number of countries from China to India.  He is a Fellow of both the Amercian and World Associations for Social Psychiatry, a Fellow of the Canadian College of Teachers, and former Vice-Chair of the Board of Governors of John Abbott College.

In 2006, Dr. Cartwright  was  on sabbatic leave from McGill and was elected a Visiting Fellow at Cambridge.  He plans to return in 2009.
