Rosemary Batt
Cornell University
Visiting Scholar
2001 to 2002
Rosemary Batt, assistant professor of human resources at the Industrial and Labor Relations School, Cornell University, will write a book on the quality of jobs and advancement opportunities for low-skilled service and sales workers in the telecommunications industry. While the popular press often depicts these jobs as low-paying, dead-end positions, much of the management literature heralds them as high-skilled opportunities leading to advancement in the new information economy.
Erica Gabrielle Foldy
New York University
Visiting Scholar
2007 to 2008
Tamara Buckley, Assistant Professor, Educational Foundations and Counseling Programs, at Hunter College, and Erica Gabrielle Foldy, Assistant Professor of Public and Nonprofit Management at the Wagner School of Public Service, New York University, form a working group that will bring the insights of both psychology and management to bear on fostering learning and effectiveness in culturally diverse teams. They theorize that acknowledging and engaging cultural differences facilitates team learning better than a “color-blind” approach.
Sunita Sah
Cornell University
Visiting Scholar
2019 to 2020
Sah will study conflicts of interest among advisors or leaders—such as physicians, financial advisors, and workplace managers—and the resulting psychological effects on both the advisors and those they supervise or advise. Using data collected from randomized experiments in the field and in the lab, she will analyze how advisors and advisees understand and react to conflict-of-interest disclosures. She will also study how such disclosures can improve the public’s decision-making, and analyze methods for improving the quality of advice given by advisors who have conflicts of interest.
Lisa J. Servon
New School
Visiting Scholar
2015 to 2016
Servon will draw from several years of original research to write a book examining the connections between widespread financial insecurity and the consumer financial services industry. She will investigate the interconnectedness between the three components of the consumer financial services industry—mainstream, alternative, and informal—and illustrate how policy has been made without a full understanding of how people move among these three components.
