Visiting Scholar Seminar, Jan 15: Sunita Sah

Dear RSF:

Please join us in the library at 11:00 on Wednesday, January 15 for Visiting Scholar Sunita Sah’s presentation, “The Paradox of Disclosure.”

Sah received her PhD and MS in Organizational Behavior from Carnegie Mellon in 2010. She has an MBA from the London Business School, and both an MD and BS in Psychology from the University of Edinburgh. Sah is currently Associate Professor of Management and Organizations and a Balen Sesquicentennial Faculty Fellow at Cornell. Her previous academic appointments were at Georgetown, Harvard and Duke.

Sah is currently writing a series of papers studying the effects of conflict of interest on advisors such as physicians, financial advisors and workplace managers. She is exploring the resulting psychological effects on both the advisors and those they advise, using data collected from randomized lab and field experiments to analyze how advisors and advisees understand and react to conflict of interest disclosures.
