Lilia Cortina

Lilia Cortina, Ph.D., is University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor of Psychology, Women’s and Gender Studies, and Management and Organizations at the University of Michigan. An organizational psychologist, she investigates workplace experiences of harassment and incivility. To date, Dr. Cortina has published over 100 scientific works on these topics. This research has won awards, but its impact stretches beyond the walls of the academy. For instance Cortina is regularly called to provide expert witness testimony, translating findings from social science to inform policy and legal decision-making. She served as a committee member for the National Academies of Science, Medicine, and Engineering panel that produced a landmark report on the sexual harassment of women (National Academies Press, 2018). In recognition of unusual and outstanding contributions to the field, Lilia Cortina has been named Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
