Debra Meyerson
Adjunct Professor, GSE Dean's Office
BioTenured Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior from 2003 to 2013. Transitioned to adjunct professor in 2013 after a severe stroke in 2010.
While full time at Stanford and previously, Debra Meyerson conducted research primarily in three areas: a) gender and race relations in organizations, specifically individual and organizational strategies of change aimed at removing inequities and fostering productive inter-group relations; b) the role of philanthropic organizations as intermediaries in fostering change within educational institutions; and c) going to scale in the charter school field. Debra authored Tempered Radicals: How People Use Difference to Inspire Change at Work (HBS Press 2001), which provides an in depth look into how people can use diversity and difference to create positive change in the workplace without division or strife.
Nine years after her stroke in 2010, Debra published Identity Theft: Rediscovering Ourselves After Stroke (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2019.) The book is built on the combination of her lived experience as a survivor with disabilities and extensive interviews and research; it highlights the need for significantly more support than is provided in the current system to rebuild identity on the path to rebuilding lives of meaning and purpose. Debra also and co-founded Stroke Onward, a nonprofit now dedicated to catalyzing change in the healthcare system in order to insure survivors in the future receive that support. As co-Chair and active volunteer for Stroke Onward, Debra's focus is on driving research and publications that will help to better understand the problems and solutions that can inform the creation of a better healthcare system. She is also an extensive speaker in academic and industry settings.

スタンフォード大学教育学部で博士課程の研究を進めています。研究は主に小学生の読み書き・バイリンガル教育についてです。デザイン思考を取り入れて近所の公立小学校と連携しながら研究をしています。読み書きの授業に生徒達のアイデンティティ・言語・文化などを取り込んで、子どもたちにとって学校が居心地の良い場所、興味を持って楽しく勉強できる場所にしていこうと思っています。スタンフォード大学入学前は韓国で英語の先生として働き、その後はシアトルの公立小学校で１年生の担任をしていました。主にアメリカで生まれ育ちましたが、高校時代は関西で過ごしました。今後もこのような研究を通して、バイリンガル・マルチリンガルの子ども達、日本とアメリカを行き来する子ども達を支援できたらと思っています。 -
