Areas of Specialization
Trained as an organizational psychologist and scholar-practitioner, I am generally
interested in applying theories and frameworks from industrial-organizational, social,
and counseling psychology (e.g., social cognition, social identity, identity development)
to help understand and improve the experiences of individuals in group and organizational
settings. My specific area of research focuses on empirically examining the perceptual,
attitudinal, and group process implications of sociodemographic differences in the
workplace, particularly differences related to sexual orientation, and I have expertise
in workplace diversity and demography issues more broadly (e.g., gender, age, race).
On a more macro level, I am interested in the processes by which organizations change
and develop and the impact of resistance to change on organizational transformation
efforts. I also write about the practice of organizational psychology, including the
ways in which classroom and organizational environments can be designed to optimize
learning and transformation, especially in executive education.
As an instructor, my primary area of expertise is in basic and applied research methods,
including the design and evaluation of social science research and the application
of research methods principles to real-world organizational challenges. I have also
taught survey courses covering topics in industrial-organizational psychology, human
resource management, and organizational behavior.
