BIO

Erin Reid (Ph.D. Harvard University) is the Canada Research Chair in Work, Careers and Organizations (Tier 2) and a Professor of Human Resources and Management. She studies the connections between careers, diversity, inequality and the design of contemporary knowledge work. One line of research focuses on the reasons for the persistence of gender inequality in time-greedy professions and organizations, such as consulting. Another series of projects explores how professionals working in the gig economy build careers, in fields such as science, journalism, and graphic design. Throughout her work, Dr. Reid pays careful attention to mechanisms of inequality, and people's strategies for success. The goals of her research are two-fold: to help people build satisfying careers, and to help employers build inclusive workplaces. Dr. Reid uses a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods in her research, including interviews and surveys. Her research is published in top management journals, including Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal. She also writes regularly for non-academic audiences, in outlets such as Harvard Business Review and The Conversation. Dr. Reid's work is funded by SSHRC and the Government of Ontario's Early Researcher Awards program and has won multiple awards. She is a founding member of the cross-university Gig Work Life Lab. She was selected by McMaster as a University Scholar (2020-2024), has been recognized as one of the world’s top 40 business school professors under the age of 40, and was listed as a Radar Thinker by Thinkers50. Her work has been profiled in media outlets, including the New York Times, Globe and Mail, The Atlantic and Fast Company. Dr. Reid is active in the professional community. She is an Associate Editor at Administrative Science Quarterly and serves on the editorial board of Organization Science. She has previously served on the editorial boards of Academy of Management Journal, Human Relations and the Journal of Business and Psychology. Dr. Reid teaches in DeGroote’s undergraduate, MBA, executive, and PhD programs. She speaks about her research to a variety of academic and executive audiences.
