M. Asher Lawson
PhD candidate, Duke University, Management & Organizations department.
About
I am a PhD candidate at Duke University in the Fuqua School of Business. Before Duke, I studied Economics and Management at Oxford.
Starting July 2022, I will be an Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences at INSEAD.
My research focuses on cognitive and gender biases in organisations and society. Using computational and experimental methods, I look at the structural and cognitive antecedents of biases and their relationship with real-world outcomes.
This research addresses questions such as:
Why do decision biases arise? Are there domain-general strategies to mitigate them?
How does hiring women change stereotypes? How do these stereotypes shape women's experiences in the workplace?
This website contains details of my academic research activities. For my musings on decision-making, statistics, and occasionally sports, see my Twitter.
