MEG WARREN

Dr. Meg Warren is a researcher, author, keynote speaker, and senior advisor working at the intersection of allyship and well-being. A social-organizational psychologist, she employs a culturally-responsive and well-being-centered approach to explore how people can rise as effective allies to those suffering in our communities. 

A Fulbright Specialist (Greece, 2026), her widely cited and award-recognized research has informed both academic scholarship and practical understanding globally. She has published more than 60 journal articles and book chapters, 2 books, and writes the Psychology Today column, Better and Happier: The positive psychology of impactful and joyful allyship. Her work has been covered by 300+ media outlets in 30+ countries, and translated or presented in 10+ languages. 

Through raw and powerful true stories -- from STEM professionals and blue-collar workers in North America, to child soldiers in Congo, descendants of indentured laborers in Fiji, landlords in the slums of Kenya, and C-suite hospitality executives in Greece -- she explores how allyship and well-being unfold across diverse contexts and cultures.
