Lise Vesterlund will receive an honorary doctorate from Copenhagen Business School

Lise Vesterlund, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Economics in Pitt’s Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, will receive an honorary doctorate from Copenhagen Business School.

Vesterlund is a co-author of the critically acclaimed book “The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work.” Her research in behavioral and experimental economics focuses on gender in the workplace, including how women are often assigned low-status tasks and overlooked for leadership roles.

In addition to this work, Vesterland is also the director of Pitt’s Behavioral Economics Design Initiative as well as the Pittsburgh Experimental Economics Laboratory.

As part of the honorary degree, she will present a lecture at Copenhagen Business School on March 21.
