Julie Kmec
Associate Professor
Ph.D., Pennsylvania, 2002
Areas of Research Interest:
Gender & Race/Ethnic Labor Market Inequality, Work Organizations, Workplace Diversity, Social Stratification.
Current Research Interests:
I am interested in how the practices of work organizations—mainly their diversity-oriented human resource practices—shape the work context. With collaborator, Beth Hirsh (Cornell University), I am exploring the connection between organizational human resource practices, formal complaints over discrimination, and race/sex segregation. I am also interested in studying how organizational practices shape worker’s experiences (i.e., pay, turnover, mobility). Another research interest of mine is in how broadly held perceptions of gender impact the work behaviors of women and men. See my website for more details: http://cooley.libarts.wsu.edu/jkmec/
