Creary has been a member of the HBS community since 2007; first as Professor David Thomas’s research associate, then as a member of Professor Robin Ely’s Gender and Race in Organizations (GRO) group, and finally as a race and diversity expert partner to HBS in the School’s ambitious plan to develop and disseminate course material on advancing racial equity in business. She studies the dynamics of inclusion and integration in organizations, such as issues of race, diversity, inclusion, and inequality, and welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with other HBS professors.

Phillips, previously a fellow with Stanford’s Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, has proposed research on the relationship between incarceration, employment, and entrepreneurship (including self-employment). He has a particular interest in the fate of the more than 600,000 people who return home from prison each year—especially as most of them are reincarcerated within the first few years.

Turner’s research explores how race and racism are built into markets, business systems, and technology. The T.R.A.P. Lab has developed an algorithm audit platform which collects data about the outcome of an algorithm within a particular context, and then assesses its impact on its users. The platform studies facial and emotion recognition and can help uncover the racial bias in algorithms used by social media platforms, which may have coded rules that alter which faces are seen by users.

Chyei Vinluan, currently a Postdoctoral Fellow of Business Administration in both the Negotiation, Organizations, and Markets and Organizational Behavior Units at HBS, will also join the BiGS Fellows for the next academic year.

As a sociologist and legal scholar, Williams investigates the effectiveness of various legal, policy, and organizational interventions designed to reduce bias and enhance equity and inclusion. While she specializes in workplace and economic inequality, she is interested in exploring the nature and effects of contemporary bias (structural, explicit, implicit) across a range of contexts.

Williams was previously recognized with the 2021 Michael J. Zimmer memorial award, an honor presented annually to a rising scholar in the field of employment and labor law who demonstrates a commitment to community and workplace justice. She was also named a 2022 Gender+ Justice Fellow at Georgetown, a network of scholars engaging in interdisciplinary research related to intersectional issues of gender, racial, and economic justice.
