Preeti Vani

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Management & Organizations department at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.

My research sits at the intersection of prosocial behavior and intergroup relations, especially as these topics relate to diversity and inclusion initiatives in the workplace. Specifically, my work focuses on allyship, and how we can be better allies to people who are "different" from us on important dimensions (ex: gender, race, sexual orientation). In a nutshell, my research agenda helps minority candidates in organizations overcome common obstacles to feeling heard, validated, and understood.

Prior to my time at Duke, I received my BA in Psychology from Harvard University, my MA in Economics from Yale University, and my PhD in Organizational Behavior from Stanford University. When I'm not hanging out in the ivory tower, I love reading (usually historical fiction), traveling, baking, going to theater productions, and spending time with my Bernedoodle.
