Andrea Dittmann studies the sources of and solutions to inequality in organizations and communities. In one stream of research, she examines how to intervene to level the playing field for people from working-class origins. In a second stream of research, she examines how to intervene to improve relationships and trust between employees in oppositional occupations (e.g., police) and those they serve. Her research has been published in top academic journals, including Nature Communications, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. Her research has also been featured in popular press outlets including the Harvard Business Review, the Atlantic, and Politico. Prior to joining USC, Dittmann was on the faculty at Emory University's Goizueta Business School. She earned her PhD in Management & Organizations at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
