Faculty Research on Diversity & Inclusion

A Deeper Look into Diversity & Inclusion

OUR FACULTY HELPS LEAD THE WAY TO NEW RESEARCH ON DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Each person is different in how they perceive the world, tackle challenges and think about the future. This diversity powers all aspects of Kellogg, including faculty research. Many of our faculty members have leveraged their unique viewpoints to develop groundbreaking theories and provide a deeper look into diversity and inclusion.
