Jennifer L. Berdahl is the Montalbano Professor of Leadership Studies: Gender and Diversity at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business.

Berdahl’s work highlights how prescriptive stereotypes of race and gender, and the social inequalities they support, are reinforced through social treatment at work. Her research has documented double jeopardy for minority women’s experiences of workplace harassment, racial harassment against East Asians who defy racial stereotypes, sexual harassment as a method of derogating assertive women, and “not man enough” harassment against men who fail to conform to hegemonic masculine ideals, including minority men and men who do caregiving in the home. Berdahl has served as an expert witness on gender discrimination cases for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and has provided expert testimony for the Canadian Senate and House of Commons.
