Research Seminar with Lisa Nishii

Lisa Nishii has a PhD and an MA in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from University of Maryland and a B.A. in Economics and Psychology from Wellesley College. She has conducted research on cross-cultural issues in conflict and negotiation, strategic human resource management, and most extensively on diversity and inclusion.

She has won numerous awards from the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Academy of Management, and the International Association for Conflict Management for her research. She consistently publishes in the most prestigious management journals, and has received over $5 million in research funding from the U.S. federal government and from the SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) Foundation. She regularly presents her research at international conferences and private multinational corporations, and is on the editorial boards of the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Applied Psychology, and the Journal of Management.
