I am an Associate Professor and Ann Brown Chair in Organization Studies at the Schulich School of Business at York University. Previously I served as Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Organizational Leadership and Associate Professor in the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University; and I was a Research Fellow with the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School (2019-2020). My passion is my research! I examine issues surrounding workplace diversity, inclusion, and equality including gender, cultural, language and socio-economic status diversity. My research has been published in top-tier refereed journals (e.g., Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology); has received numerous awards (e.g., Responsible Research in Management Award); and has been featured in main media outlets (e.g., Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times).

“[The pandemic] has shown us how important accurate and engaging coverage of science can be, but it’s also shown us how challenging it can be,” says Alice Fleerackers, a researcher at Simon Fraser University’s Scholarly Communications Lab and a coauthor of the new study. “In this paper, we’re encouraging people to start having those conversations and come up with best practices that are going to help journal
