Research Interests
Dr. Alonso's research aims to address social inequality at work by revealing the mechanisms perpetuating and challenging undue workplace (dis)advantage. This research program falls into two related streams. One stream examines how social disadvantage is challenged and reinforced in organizations. Her second stream investigates how employees defend social advantage at work. Recently, she has been particularly focused on exploring these questions in traditionally male-dominated industries such as policing, construction, and high technology.
