Mary
Blair-Loy,
Ph.D.
Biography:
Mary Blair-Loy (Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, University of California, San Diego) has a B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and an M.Div. from Harvard University. She uses multiple methods to study gender, work, and family, with a focus on how human agency is constrained and enabled by social and cultural structures. Her book, Competing Devotions: Career and Family among Executive Women (Harvard University Press), won the 2005 William J. Goode Book Award from the American Sociological Association Section on the Family. The book shows how the morally and emotionally salient cultural schemas of work devotion and family devotion help structure the institutions of the capitalist firm and the nuclear family in the U.S. and help shape women's actions. Other studies appear in several leading academic journals. Blair-Loy is currently researching work-family issues among male executives, studying the causes and consequences of the institutionalization of contested work-family policies in a large financial services firm with Amy S. Wharton, and analyzing organizational ideologies with Wharton and Jerry Goodstein.
