Debra Meyerson is an Adjunct Professor at Stanford Graduate School of Education, having transitioned from a full-time role in 2013 due to health challenges. With a foundational background in Organizational Behavior, Meyerson's research primarily addresses gender and race relations within organizations, focusing on strategies to eliminate inequities and promote inter-group relations.
