Jennifer Feitosa, Ph.D.
Jennifer Feitosa is an Assistant Professor of the Department of Psychological Sciences at Claremont McKenna College and the director of the METRICS Lab. Dr. Feitosa’s main research interests include diversity, teamwork, and methods in the workplace. She is currently answering questions, such as How can we maximize the benefits of diversity in teams at work? She has co-authored over 30 publications, including journals such as American Psychologist, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Psychological Assessment, Organizational Dynamics, Human Resource Management Review, and Group Dynamics, and is in the editorial board of Small Groups Research. Her projects are set to reach breadth and depth in the area of diverse teams, by integrating the literature (e.g., Feitosa et al., 2018), utilizing qualitative methods (e.g., Burke & Feitosa, 2015) as well as quantitative approaches (e.g., Feitosa et al., 2015; 2017; 2020). Furthermore, she has presented over 50 times in conferences and her work has been featured at APA monitor and ioatwork.com.
