Wendy M. Williams (born 1960) is a psychologist and professor known for her research in the fields of intelligence with regards to training and development.
Alongside Stephen Ceci, she has written and published many articles, as well as has authored nine personal books, including The Reluctant Reader, How to Develop Student Creativity, and The Mathematics of Sex.
While a member of the APA, Williams served as acting Member-at-Large for the Division 1 general psychology committee for two terms.
Williams leads the "Thinking Like a Scientist" program that was started at Cornell University, which serves to deepen common understanding of science and spark interest in underrepresented children.
Williams also focuses heavily on the importance of sex and gender in the scientific community, which is expressed in many of her articles on The New York Times[3] and Huffington Post.
[4] In an article by Wired,[5] Williams and Ceci's work on the debunking of sexual discrimination in the scientific community is referenced often to explain just why it is so hard for women to get jobs and grants.
