Jessica Kennedy

Kennedy holds a BS in Economics from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and will receive a PhD in Business Administration from the Haas School of Business of the University of California, Berkeley in the summer of 2012. In July, she will join The Wharton School as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Legal Studies & Business Ethics. Kennedy's research examines ethical compromises in organizations, particularly those produced by the pursuit and attainment of higher rank in a hierarchy. In 2011, she won the Organization Science dissertation proposal competition for her research on how advancing in a hierarchy affects the expression of dissent. Prior to pursuing her PhD, Kennedy worked in investment banking at Goldman Sachs. During her fellowship year, she will undertake a project examining hierarchies as socialization mechanisms.
