Olivia Foster-Gimbel

Olivia Foster-Gimbel is an assistant professor of management and global business. She studies research allyship, the efforts of those who actively work for equity for marginalized groups, not as a member of that group but in solidarity with its struggle. She focuses on challenges that allyship brings, such as evoking negative emotional responses or questioning taken-for-granted policies, and how organizational interventions can increase effort and commitment to social equity goals.
