Ivy Profile

Bio

Before joining Iowa State University in 2023, Kristie earned her Ph.D. in Management from the University of Arkansas as the Frank & Donna Oldham Graduate Fellow. At a broad level, her research examines how organizations can be more equitable and asks questions related to diversity in and around organizations, with a focus on social class at work. Specifically, Kristie investigates the mechanisms in and around organizations that maintain or disrupt social class hierarchies. She has a related research stream centered on behavioral ethics and teaches Ethical and Responsible Management (MGMT 372). Kristie’s work is rooted in the principle that scholarship should be theoretically and practically meaningful to best serve employees, organizations, and society.
