Andrea Dittmann’s research on inequality in the workplace stems from personal experience. As a graduate student working part-time in a restaurant, she saw a difference in how she was treated as a research student and a waitress. Now an assistant professor with expertise in organization and management, Dittmann examines the disparities between blue- and white-collar workers. She says schools and companies alike can create more welcoming opportunities for first-generation college students.
