## Bio

Charles Horton Cooley was born August 17, 1864, the son of a Michigan Supreme Court judge. He studied and later taught economics and sociology at the University of Michigan, spending his career there. In 1905 he helped found the American Sociological Association; by 1918 he'd risen to its eighth president. His central contribution was the looking-glass self, the theory that identity forms not in isolation but through the mirror of social interaction — self-concept as a reflection of perceived judgment. He died May 7, 1929.
