It was my honour to accept the Career Trajectory Award from the Society for Experimental Social Psychology in Lisbon, Portugal this weekend. 💖 For the acceptance speech, I created an “Allegory for a Career Trajectory.” Thank you, to Everyone!

Animated version: youtu.be/Svjw7JBddPw

This image, titled "Allegory for a Career Trajectory" depicts a forest. The trees have different colours, like a technicolor rainbow. The trees bear the names of people who influenced the development of Elizabeth Page-Gould's ideas, knowledge, abilities, and career--and certainly personal growth. There is a tree that goes sideways across the image labelled "LP-G." This tree has many names coming off it's branches, representing the incredible students whom Page-Gould has had the honour to mentor. This image served as the backdrop to Page-Gould's acceptance speech for the SESP Career Trajectory Award.

She is far too un-self-promoting to do this herself, so I'm shouting out *THE* Elizabeth Page-Gould (@page-gould.bsky.social) for winning the SESP Career Trajectory Award!

Liz is the reason they had to invent the high-warmth/high competence quadrant. She is such a gem and so damn deserving of this.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute, Neil ❤️

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 22

Thank you so much for this, Neil. 💕💗💐

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

I would like to share that the family requests donations be made to the Innocence Project (innocenceproject.org/donate/) or the American Civil Liberties Union (action.aclu.org/give/now) in lieu of flowers. 💖💐

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Thank you so much. I am very sorry for your loss. ❤️🤗

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Sam Sommers, thank you for walking next to me for some of the time you were here. It was always a delight, every time you appeared. ✨ Your presence in my life was a gift. I am grateful for every moment I got to spend with you. 💖🖤 Rest in peace, my friend. ❤️

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

My deepest condolences are to his beloved family. Sam’s relationship with his family was deep and inspiring. I can only imagine how hard it is to lose a father and spouse like that. They deserve our utmost care, support, love, and respect. 🫶💗❤️

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

It’s been a hard few days, harder than I predicted. 💔 Sam was one of those people that was kind of all positive, so it’s just hard. I also texted him on Tuesday evening, after he had passed away but before I knew that and that’s getting to me a bit. 😭

We needed more Sams in this world, not less. 🖤

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Altogether, Sam loved social psychology and his vision for the future of our field was a beautiful one. Let’s honor Dr. Samuel R. Sommers whenever we get the opportunity to do so. 🌟🍻🤩❤️👏⭐️✨

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

He guided the research direction of our field as an Editor. He guided the intellectual direction of our field through his textbooks. He showed the importance of our field to people outside academia through popular books. He led his local community as the Chair of the Tufts Psychology Department.

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Sam Sommers was a visionary for our field. He regularly assumed roles that gave him scholarly leadership of our field’s trajectory across domains.

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Through this collaboration, I have found fulfillment and inspiration. It has also taken my writing to the next plateau, because of the generosity and brilliance of Sam’s and Neil’s feedback, in particular.

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Around 2017, Tim Wilson, Elliot Aronson, and Sam reached out to me to be a possible co-author on the Aronson Social Psychology textbook, and that was when our scholarly collaboration began. Neil joined the party 4 - 5 years ago now, and it's been so synergistic.✨🎉💖

(There is definitely a lesson in here to early career scholars to not blow off the peer reviews you do! 🤓✍️)

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

I remembered that, at the time, he had written back to me and thanked me for a high-quality review. His note had meant a lot to me, at the time, as a new professor. However, I had no idea how much that one review would pay off for me!

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Sam would later say that he did that all because of the quality of a *peer review* that I wrote as an ad-hoc reviewer for a paper he handled while he was an Associate Editor at the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Early in my career, Sam appeared as this random sponsor of me. We didn’t really know each other until about 2017, but he reached out to me a few times before then to random nominate me for awards. (❣️🤩💝)

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

We had a really deep and meaningful conversation at dinner, too. I will always treasure the advice and stories he shared with me. He was so wise in this way that was both confident in his truth but highly open and humble. Sam Sommers, you were a special person. 🌟❤️

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

We had dinner at SPSP just a few weeks ago! 💕 Sam texted this picture to @neillewisjr.bsky.social and me. It feels like a gift now. 💝

An image of Sam Sommers and Liz Page-Gould in Denver, Colorado, US in February 2025. Sam is taking the picture as a selfie and thus has his arm outstretched toward the camera. Liz has her arm around Sam's shoulder. Both people are smiling and looking at the camera.

Elizabeth Page-Gould: Black Lives Matter @page-gould.bsky.social · Mar 21

Sam passed away on Sunday, and I found out on Wednesday. It was one of those calls where, despite the fact that what the caller says is totally shocking, I knew what was going to be said. There’s something about the way people set those calls up and then start the conversation … Sam was dead. 💔😭🖤

Dr. Sam R. Sommers was one of those truly good people who also happened to be a total powerhouse. It is with deep sadness that I share the news of his death. Everyone who had Sam in their lives was lucky, and I am grateful for every moment he shared with me. ❤️💖💫 now.tufts.edu/2025/03/20/r...

Social psychology lost a giant, and I lost a dear friend and collaborator. Still processing the loss of Sam Sommers, and probably will be for some time. Cherish the time you have with your people, folks.
