He went earned his doctorate in psychology from The Ohio State University, and, since then, has taught at many institutions. During his tenure at the University of Michigan, he overlapped briefly with Bollinger. (Steele recalls first meeting his current boss in the UMich gym.)

As a social psychologist, Steele has focused on stereotype threat, a stream of research that elevated his name in the field.
