St. Louis is a long way from her native Barbados, but Michelle Duguid has adjusted to life on the shores of the Mississippi as an assistant professor of organizational behavior at Olin since 2009. Her areas of research include: group demography and social status; group creativity and decision-making.

Duguid’s research paper, “Female Tokens in High-Prestige Work Groups: Catalysts or Inhibitors of Group Diversification?” was featured in Olin Praxis: Research that Impacts Business in 2012.
