Ph.D. Student
Academic Department: Management & Organization
Area of Specialization: Organizational Behavior and Human Resources Management
Research Interests
- Anusuya studies affective barriers to, and facilitators of, growth and high performance; the psychology of advantaged and disadvantaged group members; and the psychobiology of behavior.
-
- Within the context of equity & inclusion, she explores how the motivation to experience (or avoid) affective states, and the ability to manage emotions, influences response to social inequality. For example, she is currently investigating response to DEI-related feedback, as well as the recognition of personal and systemic discrimination. Within the context of psychobiology, she investigates how changes in internal biological states impact affect, perceptions and behavior. For example, she is currently leading a study investigating how hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle influence experiences of, and at, work.
-
- Her research interests are inspired by her previous career working globally at organizations such as the UN and JPAL, and in partnership with a range of public and private stakeholders. Prior to pursuing a doctoral degree, Anusuya received a Masters in Education Policy from Harvard University, Masters in Social Policy from University of Oxford, and Bachelors in Psychology & Gender Studies from the University of Washington.
