Prof. Susan Oyama Trained at Harvard University’s Social Relations Department, Susan Oyama has written widely on the nature/nurture opposition and on the concepts of development, evolution, and genetic information. She wrote and edited Aggression with others, under the pen name John Klama (Wiley in the US and Longman in the UK, 1988), and in 2000, her essay collection, Evolution's Eye: A Systems View of the Biology-Culture Divide was published, along with an expanded edition of The Ontogeny of Information, considered by many to be the foundational text of the “developmental systems” perspective. With Paul Griffiths and Russell Gray, Oyama also edited Cycles of Contingency, a volume of papers on developmental systems by scholars from many fields. Oyama is Professor Emerita at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and The Graduate School and University Center, both of The City University of New York.
