In her research, she is primarily interested in understanding the myriad ways in which women’s disproportionate responsibilities in the home hinder their advancement at work.
In one research stream, she uncovers how modern social roles come to be infused into people’s sense of self-worth, and how this psychological process puts women at a unique disadvantage relative to men. In another stream, she studies how men’s lay beliefs about gender roles get in the way of rational decision-making around workplace family leave policies in the United States. In a third stream, she examines organizations’ diversity data practices from an intersectionality-informed lens. Finally, she is also interested in exploring the structures of women’s social networks in the domain of entrepreneurship.
She is deeply committed to transparency and reproducibility in methods and open science, and has expertise in advanced statistical methods, such as multilevel modeling and multivariate analyses. Her research work has been published in leading psychology and management journals, including Research in Organizational Behavior, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and Psychology of Women Quarterly.
