Research
Dr. Zhao is currently conducting a qualitative study understanding how gender, race, and other identities shape Hunter College MSW management graduates’ career advancement experiences in human services organizations. In another project, she is examining the phenomenon of nonprofit human services worker unionization: issues motivating workers to organize; outcomes of unionization; and opportunities, challenges, and management responses to their organizing.
