  • Julian Pfrombeck presented the conceptual paper “The Disadvantage Double Bind: How One’s Range of Acceptable Behavior Keeps People in Their Place” co-authored by Adam Galinsky (Columbia University), Chloe Levin (Columbia University), Joe Magee (New York University), and Derek Rucker (Northwestern University) in the symposium “Power and the Politics of Voice: How Hierarchy Shapes the Expression and Consequences of Voice,” organized by Huisi Jessica Li (University of Washington) and Zeren Li (University of Washington). Our discussant was Ethan Burris (University of Texas at Austin).



Professor Julian Pfrombeck will be hosting a webinar co-organized with the Happy-Retired Charity Action Limited (HRCA).

The webinar will take place on May 28, 2026, and is specifically designed for local employers and HR professionals navigating age-inclusive talent management strategies.
