Kyra Rodriguez
PhD Student in Management of Orgaizations, Berkeley
My name is Kyra Rodriguez and I am first year PhD student in Management of Organization at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. My research, primarily with Dr. Sa-kiera Hudson and Dr. Laura Kray, focuses broadly on stigma in relation to disability, gender, and race.
Prior to UC Berkeley, I earned my BA in Psychology from New York University. I then went on to a predoctoral research position at MIT's Sloan School of Management where I was involved in research relating to the effects of socioeconomic background in academia and East vs South Asian differences in organizations (the Bamboo Ceiling) with Dr. Anna Stansbury and Dr. Jackson Lu, respectively.
