Ethan Poskanzer

I am an Assistant Professor and the Stone Family Faculty Scholar at the Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado, Boulder.  

My research examines how identity shapes organizational evaluations and decision-making. I take a broad view of identity, including demographics, status, political partisanship and professional identity, from the perspective of both the evaluator and the evaluated.

With my co-authors, I'm currently working on projects that examine how entrepreneurs are evaluated and the downstream consequences for inequality in innovation.

My research has been published in Organization Science, Administrative Science Quarterly, American Sociological Review and American Journal of Sociology.

I received a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a BA from Syracuse University. Before entering academia, I worked at Goldman Sachs in New York City.
