Erika Kirgios
I am an Assistant Professor in the Behavioral Science department at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a co-PI of the HOPE Lab.
My research interests include identity, diversity, discrimination, prosocial behavior, and behavior change. The majority of my work focuses on race and gender in the workplace, aiming to elucidate why inequality persists and how people respond to demand- and supply-side interventions aiming to reduce inequity. My work has been published in journals such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Nature Human Behaviour, Nature, Academy of Management Journal, Management Science, Organization Science, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.
I received my Ph.D. in Operations, Information, and Decisions from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and I graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University with a BA in Computer Science and minors in Cognitive Science and Neuroscience. You can click here to view my CV.
