Bianca Crivellini Eger, Assistant Professor at Nova SBE, spoke at Leading People, exploring the permeability of boundaries between multiple identities. Her research shows we are more than the sum of our parts, examining how identities interact in the professional context. In her flash talk, "Belonging in a Fragmented World: Identity, Purpose, and the Workplace," she asked: What can we learn about identity at work by studying drag queens? Bianca found professionals who are lawyers, HR managers, or doctors by day and drag queens by night. She explained, "We all have multiple identities. We are professionals, but also parents, siblings, friends, artists, and athletes. We constantly move between these identities. Workplaces often expect consistency, but people are messy; they change and evolve. This is a tool for growth."
