Fortune recently referenced my work in an article about showing authenticity in the workplace, alongside pushback from a former Secret Service agent who argued the opposite. Read the articles here: Fortune: fortune.com/article/work... My work: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Proud to celebrate the Kellogg Teaching Resources team’s Collaborative Spirit Award nomination and Natalie Arsenault’s Innovation & Action Award at Kellogg's Excellence in Action Awards Ceremony. Grateful for this exceptional team and all they do for Kellogg.

One of the highlights of my year was seeing my undergraduate advisor, Mahzarin Banaji, give a fantastic talk at Northwestern on how her research has evolved over time. It was very cool to see how the questions that shaped my early academic life are still evolving in new ways.

I had a fabulous time sharing how to use AI as a collaborator to improve leadership and marketing decisions on the first day of the Kellogg Marketing Leadership Summit. It was an energetic, deeply inquisitive group of leaders who genuinely love learning.

Great to host two webinars through Kellogg Teaching Resources and the Dispute Resolution Research Center. Dawei Wang introduced Beat the Bot on human-AI collaboration, and Randall Peterson shared The Managing Innovation Task on teamwork. Thanks to everyone who joined these webinars!

Recently joined Shana Carroll and Lauren Rivera for a faculty panel at Kellogg, hosted by the Gender Equity Club following International Women’s Day. We discussed how power dynamics shape conversations and how to navigate disagreement and tension at work. Happy to be a part of this discussion.

Scientists. Investors. Artists. When you think of a rational person, what comes to mind? Prof. Tessa Charlesworth suggest it’s more than being logical and analytical, but misperceptions can affect how people are treated—and paid. kell.gg/92853f

What Does It Mean to Be Rational?

It’s more than just being logical and analytical, research shows. But misperceptions can affect how people are treated and how much they are paid.
