Part II: Interventions for Gender Bias, with Dr. Corinne Bendersky

Corinne Bendersky is a Professor and Area Chair of Management and Organizations at UCLA Anderson School of Management. She is an expert in workplace conflict, status, justice, and diversity and inclusion in teams and organizations.

In recent projects, Dr. Bendersky has developed interventions to reduce the gender bias experienced by women who work in extremely male-dominated professions, such as the U.S. fire service. Her interventions have also been used to reduce the endorsement of sexist supervisors.
