Biography

Hebl in a native of Pardeeville, Wisconsin.[8] She received her B.A. degree in psychology with honors at Smith College in 1991, where she studies with Professor Phil Peake.[9][10] Hebl completed a master's degree in psychology at Texas A&M University in 1993. She then attended Dartmouth College where she obtained her Ph.D. in psychology in 1997 under the supervision of Robert E. Kleck.[1] Her dissertation titled "Nonstigmatized individuals' reactions to the acknowledgment and valuation of a stigma by overweight individuals and physically disabled individuals"[11] began a line of research on social stigma.

Hebl joined the faculty of Rice University in 1998. She has received multiple research grants, including funding from the National Institutes of Health,[4] the National Cancer Institute, and an ADVANCE award from the National Science Foundation.[12][13] In 2014, Hebl received the Academy of Management's Sage Award for Scholarly Contributions.[3]

Hebl is an avid long-distance runner who has completed a marathon in every state.[14]

Research

Hebl's research program examines social stigma and discrimination in the workplace and other professional settings, including health care and customer service. Stigmatized groups may include, e.g., pregnant women, members of racial and ethnic minorities, and individuals with disabilities or obesity. Hebl and her students have studied discrimination experienced by members of the LGBT community and pregnant women completing job applications, as well as obese patients receiving medical treatment, including efforts to reduce discrimination against these groups.[15][16]

Hebl reports that people often experience subtle forms of discrimination in these settings that have considerable impact on their lives. In her work on racial bias, she focuses on how support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives might reduce inequality among White and Black professionals.[17][18] However, people are affected by various subtexts in DEI conversations (such as hazy definitions of diversity, passive language, and deficiency-oriented descriptions). By focusing on this under-researched barrier to DEI activities, the researchers wanted to show how organizations might live up to their stated commitment to advance true diversity and equity.[19]
