En français
Ruri Takizawa est doctorante et assistante de recherche et d'enseignement en psychologie sociale sous la supervision du Prof. Kulich et du Dr. Iacoviello.
Elle étudie le phénomène de la falaise de verre, une tendance selon laquelle les femmes et les membres de groupes minoritaires ont une tendance davantage prononcée que les hommes et les membres de groupes majoritaires d'être nommés à des postes de direction dans des circonstances précaires. Elle examine notamment le type de leadership qui est exigé dans différents types de crises, les attentes que les gens ont des membres de groupes sous-représentés qui occupent des rôles de leadership en politique et dans les organisations, et comment ces candidats sont évalués.
Dans ses recherches, elle utilise différents types de données quantitatives (expérimentales, secondaires et corrélationnelles).
