Albert Edward Wiggam () was an American psychologist and populariser of eugenics. He was called &#;one of the most influential promoters of eugenic thought&#;. He had exceptional skills as a popular lecturer (Wikipedia). Wiggam was the author of several widely selling books with eugenics themes, including:
- The New Decalogue of Science. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill Company,
- The Fruit of the Family Tree. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill company,
- The Next Age of Man. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill company,
He also was a populariser of psychology.
Diane Paul&#;s discussion of popularising eugenics in Controlling Human Heredity helps interpret Wiggam&#;s work.
Wiggam () &#;Shall I Marry This Man?&#;
To demonstrate Wiggam&#;s approach to popularising eugenics, I frequently point students in the direction of this piece, which appear in in the magazine, Good Housekeeping. This magazine had a specific demographic, which is important for appreciating the focus in this article. Appreciating Wiggam&#;s success as an author requires an appreciation for his ability to connect with his audience.
