Background

About Shelley J. Correll

Professor of sociology and (by courtesy) organizational behavior at Stanford University. The Barbara D. Finberg Director of the Clayman Institute for Gender Research and the founding director of the Stanford VMware Women’s Leadership Innovation Lab. My expertise is in the areas of gender, workplace dynamics and organizational culture. I am committed to uncovering and removing the biases and barriers that limit women’s full participation in society. My research on the “motherhood penalty” demonstrates how motherhood influences the workplace evaluations, pay and job opportunities of mothers. My current research uncovers how gender stereotypes and organizational practices limit the advancement and retention of women in technical jobs. I have published more than 30 articles on these topics. I teach in Executive Education at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, including in the first LGBTQ executive education program offered by a top business school. I am Co-Director of the Program for Women Leaders in Major League Baseball at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
