Michelle K. Ryan (born 1973[1]) is a Professor of Social and Organizational Psychology at the University of Exeter and (part-time) Professor of Diversity at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.

Education

She completed her undergraduate and a Ph.D. study in psychology from Australian National University in 2004 for her thesis ‘A gendered self or a gendered context? A self-categorization appraisal of gender differences’.[2]

Research

Her research focuses on gender and gender differences, particularly the impact of gender in the workplace.[3]

Together with Alex Haslam, she coined the term "glass cliff" to describe how the experiences of women who have broken through the glass ceiling differ from those of their male counterparts.[4] Their idea was named by the New York Times as one of the ideas that shaped 2008.[5] The term was shortlisted as Word of the Year by the Oxford English Dictionary in 2016.[6]

Fellowships and other activity

In 2004 she was awarded a Research Councils UK academic fellowship. She was Associate Editor for the British Journal of Social Psychology between 2010 and 2012.[3] In 2014 she undertook a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship to examine the role of identity in explaining perceptions of work-life balance.[7] At the University of Exeter she has held the roles of Faculty Associate Dean (Research), Dean of Post-graduate Research and inaugural Director of the Exeter Doctoral College.[8]

She holds a European Research Council Consolidator Grant examining the way in which context and identity shape and constrain women’s careers.[9]

Ryan has been appointed director of the Global Institute for Women's Leadership at the Australian National University, with effect from 1 July 2021.[10]
