Curriculum Vita

Juliana Schroeder is a Professor and the Harold Furst Chair in Management Philosophy and Values at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. Schroeder is a behavioral scientist and experimentalist with expertise in “mind perception”: how people think about the minds of other people. Her research seeks to understand when people attribute stronger or weaker mental capacities to others and how their attributions affect their social decisions and behaviors.

Schroeder has written more than 40 peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals such as Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Science, Nature Human Behaviour, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. Her papers have been cited more than 5,500 times. Her research is regularly covered by media outlets such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Economist, Scientific American, TIME, the BBC, NPR, and Hidden Brain. She also writes for practitioners and the public in outlets such as the New York Times, the BBC, Harvard Business Review, Greater Good Magazine, California Management Review, and Behavioral Scientist.

Schroeder’s scholarship has earned recognition from many of the field’s leading scientific organizations. She is a Fellow of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, the Society of Experimental Social Psychology, and the Association for Psychological Science, and has received early- and mid-career awards from the International Association for Conflict Management, the International Social Cognition Network, and the Association for Psychological Science.

Schroeder is an acclaimed educator. She received the Cheit Award for Excellence in Teaching, the highest teaching honor at Berkeley Haas, and was named one of Poets&Quants’ “Top 40 Most Outstanding Business School Professors Under 40 in the World.”

She is also a frequent keynote speaker. Her TEDx talk, “How to fight loneliness: Everyday hacks for a connected life,” draws on her research on social connection, and she speaks to organizations through the Washington Speakers Bureau and A-Speakers.

At the forefront of research on the relationship between humans and emerging technologies, Schroeder co-founded and co-directs the Psychology of Technology Institute, which advances research on how technology can better support human well-being and healthy social relationships. In addition, she directs UC Berkeley’s Experimental Social Science Laboratory (Xlab) and co-directs the Social and Moral Judgments Laboratory (SOMO Lab).
