Susanne Bruyere

Overview

Susanne M. Bruyère, Ph.D., CRC, is currently Professor of Disability Studies and the Director of the Yang-Tan Institute on Employment and Disability, ILR School, Ithaca, N.Y. Dr. Bruyère served as Project Director and Co-Principal Investigator of numerous federally-sponsored research, dissemination, and technical assistance efforts focused on employment and disability policy and effective workplace practices for people with disabilities including: the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Employer Practice to Improve Employment Outcomes for Persons with Disabilities; and the Organizational Practices to Increase Employment Opportunities for People with Disabilities: The Power of Social Networks. She is a past president of the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology (22) of the American Psychological Association, the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association, and the National Council on Rehabilitation Education. She holds a doctoral degree in Rehabilitation Counseling Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is a Fellow in the American Psychological Association, a member of the National Academy of Social Insurance, and currently serves as an Executive Board Member of the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology (22) American Psychological Association, a past-chair of GLADNET (the Global Applied Disability Research and Information Network on Employment and Training), and a past-chair and current Board Member of CARF (rehabilitation facility accreditation organization).

Teaching Statement

My teaching focus is to teach two to three courses in and further develop the Disability Studies Sequence within the ILR School. This year, I taught in the spring ILR-HR 6410 course (Disability Considerations in HR Practice) and fall ILR-IC 4360 course (Global Comparative Disability Policy).

Research Statement

My research focus is to identify facilitators to full inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the workforce and the workplace. This has included collaboration on use of a wide variety of analytical approaches/research methodologies and data sources, working with a team of collaborators from across the ILR School and the Yang-Tan Institute.

Service Statement

My professional service efforts have been concentrated in leadership positions in national professional associations related to improving employment outcomes and the general well-being of individuals with disabilities. I have served as President or chairperson of five national and global organizations focus on these issues.

Outreach Statement

My outreach efforts are designed to be complementary effort to my research focus. I work to take new knowledge gained through this research to the intended stakeholders who can assist in making change in disability inclusion in the workforce and the workplace (e.g., employers, policy makers, disability service providers, disability advocates, the media, general public, and individuals with disabilities and their families).
