Research Statement

Professor Martin’s research focuses on the ways in which we construe and discuss gender to promote gender equality and inclusion. Her research compares and contrasts diversity strategies to understand the unique effects of being “aware of” or “blind to” intergroup differences on women and racial minorities’ workplace outcomes. By comparing gender to other social categories, such as race and age, she theoretically outlines and empirically tests how the uniqueness and universality of gender affects bias towards underrepresented groups.
