Sociologist. Author. Speaker. Advisor.
Helping create a more equal world by turning research into action.
Welcome!
I am a sociologist at Stanford University where I conduct research on gender, women’s leadership, diversity and inclusion, the future of work, financial insecurity, and economic inequality. My mission is to help create a more equal world by translating research into action. I was the lead researcher for Sheryl Sandberg’s NYT best-seller Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead and I am an author on all of the Lean In & McKinsey Women in the Workplace reports.
To stop sexual harassment, we must understand why it happens. In her TedX talk, Stanford University sociologist Marianne Cooper shares research on the root causes of sexual harassment.
Creating a More Equal World.
I aim to translate my research on gender and inequality into action. Here, you will find a collection of my most recent publications, including media and podcasts, articles, reports, academic publications, and my book. You will also find a list of my most recent speaking and consulting engagements.
