Professor Gardner needs no
introduction to the readers of this journal. A codirector of Harvard's
Project Zero from 1972 to 2000, on the faculty at the Harvard Graduate
School of Education since 1986, he has published several hundred articles
and 24 books. The most famous of these is his 1983 book Frames of
Mind, which first presented his influential theory of multiple intelligences
(MI), arguing from cognitive science and brain research that each person
had seven distinct sets of abilities and potential. His most receptive
audience has been in education; MI is taught in every teacher preparation
program, and many schools in the United States and around the world use
curricula based on MI principles.
