Doctoral Student

Alexandra C. Feldberg

Print Entire ProfileMore

Alexandra (Allie) Feldberg is a Doctoral Candidate in the Organizational Behavior program, jointly offered between Harvard Business School's Organizational Behavior unit and Harvard University's Sociology department.

Allie uses qualitative and quantitative methods to examine intersections between gender, knowledge, and discrimination within firms. To date, her work has considered (1) how new technologies and big data in the workplace are shifting men and women’s performance outcomes and relationship networks, (2) what men and women prioritize to do their jobs and advance their careers, (3) the extent to which frontline employees discriminate in the information and services they provide to customers.

Before beginning her PhD, Allie worked as a management consultant at Katzenbach Partners, a staff member at Columbia University, and an Education Pioneers Fellow with Teach For America. She graduated from Columbia University with a BA in history. For more information, please visit Allie's personal website.

    Organizational Remedies for Discrimination

    R. Ely and A. Feldberg

    Laws now exist to protect employees from blatant forms of discrimination in hiring and promotion, but workplace discrimination persists in latent forms. These “second-generation” forms of bias arise in workplace structures, practices, and patterns of interaction that inadvertently favor some groups over others. This chapter reviews research on how these biases manifest themselves in the core processes of organizations—that is, how people are hired, compensated, developed, and evaluated—all of which are aspects of organizational life that tend to privilege some groups over others. It also reviews research that points to remedies for these biases, illustrating that organizational practices can be sites for intervention and change. The chapter concludes with methodological and substantive recommendations for future research on discrimination and its remedies in organizations.

    Keywords: discrimination; Prejudice and Bias; Equality and Inequality;
