传记与作者历程

Jordan B. Peterson grew up in northern Alberta and moved into academic life through the University of Alberta, where he earned a B.A. in political science, and McGill University, where he completed a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and then remained for postdoctoral work from 1991 to 1993. He went on to teach psychology at Harvard before returning to Canada in 1998 to join the University of Toronto, where he later became professor emeritus.
