She is also a faculty affiliate with the Center for Gender in Organizations at the Simmons School of Management and a research advisor for the Aspen Institute's Business & Society Program.

Her research has examined employees' formation of beliefs about meritocracy in the workplace and how that tenuously legitimates inequality; the use of social movement activism to address inequality in the workplace, such as the emergence of employee affinity groups; and forms of dissent and cross-group alliances, such as the role of active bystanders in creating inclusive work environments and the role of wealthy people in contesting income inequality. She co-authored a textbook widely used in M.B.A. programs, Managing for the Future: Organizational Behavior and Processes, now in its 3rd edition. Her research has appeared in Human Relations, Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, Organization Science, Organization Studies, Stanford Social Innovation Review, and is forthcoming in Academy of Management Journal.
