About Emily Ye:
Emily Ye joined the PhD program in Management and Organizations at NYU Stern in 2022. Her research examines how age and gender influence people’s experiences at work and in life. She treats age as a relational, socially constructed category, studying how its meaning depends on comparisons between people, roles, and expectations. This work includes age-gender stereotypes and their consequences for hiring and role assignment, age discrimination, and maturity work—the impression-management strategies that people use to appear more mature. She also studies the behavioral and contextual drivers of gender gaps in workplace outcomes. Her work is published or forthcoming in outlets including the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and Current Opinion in Psychology.
Emily graduated from Amherst College, double majoring in Psychology (with Honors) and Statistics. Before starting graduate school at Stern, she worked as an analyst for a diabetes-focused market research firm in San Francisco, California.
