Mary C. Kern

Mary (Molly) Kern is an organizational psychologist whose research broadly follows two streams: negotiation and decision making, and group dynamics. Her work has been published in journals with broad appeal, such as Harvard Business Review, Psychological Science, and Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and also more select quality “niche” journals oriented specifically around the theoretical and practical questions being studied. Her most recent work on bounded ethicality (Ethical learning: Releasing the moral unicorn) was published this past summer and received the 2014 Abraham J. Briloff Prize in Ethics. Prior to joining academe, Professor Kern worked for Deloitte for five years in Chicago, Detroit, and New York in their Audit Assurance Services, Recruiting, and Global HR Strategy groups.
