Biography
Welcome!
My name is Anyi (pronounced “ahn-ee”). I am an Assistant Professor of Management at Freeman School of Business, Tulane University.
My research concerns the topic of agency. Organizations often tell employees to take charge and assert themselves – or to be agentic – at work. I study how agentic employees are perceived by others and the implications of these perceptions for gender and leadership. I also examine how agentic experiences feel like from the employee’s perspective and the wide-ranging – and often counter-intuitive – consequences of these experiences.
I teach negotiations here at the Freeman School of Business.
