Welcome to my homepage! My name is George Boeree (pronounced boo-RAY). I am a retired professor, previously in the Psychology Department - Opens in a new window at Shippensburg University - Opens in a new window , where I taught personality theories and the history of psychology (among other things). I am also guilty of inventing a new language - Lingua Franca Nova - Opens in a new window .

I was born in 1952 in a small town called Badhoevedorp - Opens in a new window , near Amsterdam in the Netherlands. I came to the US in 1956 with my parents and brother, and grew up mostly on Long Island. I got my BA from Penn State, and my MS and PhD from Oklahoma State, all in Psychology.

In 1972, I married Judy Kovarik, the girl next door back in Bay Shore, NY. Judy and I have three wonderful daughters - Jenny, Merry, and Katey. Jenny and Staks have a boy named Orion and a girl named Lyra, and Katey and Ashley have a boy named Julian. Judy and I live contentedly in the beautiful Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Boeree passed away in 2021 and the website is still being administered and kept ADA current by Rodger Rossman, Psychology Instructor at College of The Albemarle in Elizabeth City, NC USA.
