REUBEN HURST

I am a an Assistant Professor in the Management & Organization department at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business. My interests lie at the intersection of non-market strategy, diversity, and human capital. In an ongoing set of projects, my co-authors and I are documenting the extent, origins, and consequences of workers sorting by political partisanship in the United States labor market.  Many of these studies are part of the Politics at Work project with Max Kagan and Justin Frake in which we have identified partisanship and place of work for tens of millions of workers in the United States.

My work has been published in Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Politics, Organization Science, and Strategic Management Journal, and has appeared in various popular outlets including the Harvard Business Review, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. My work has been recognized with research prizes from the Academy of Management, the American Political Science Association, INFORMS, and the Strategic Management Society.

I received a joint PhD in Strategy and Political Science from the University of Michigan, a MSc in Political Economy from the London School of Economics, and a Bachelor's degree in Government from Dartmouth College. Prior to academia, I worked for Goldman Sachs in London, UK.
