The Organizational Disparities Laboratory
Transforming research into actionable change for increased career mobility and organizational excellence
The Organizational Disparities Laboratory (ODL), directed by Professor Jerlando F. L. Jackson, is a research incubator committed to exploring and disrupting organizational disparities, the noticeable and usually significant differences in level or treatment that emerge in organizations, which can result in disparate access to opportunities, resources, engagement, and recognition.
