Profile
Edith Pick is a postdoctoral associate at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management and the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute; and a lecturer at the Hornstein program and the Near Eastern and Judaic Studies department at Brandeis. Her research and teaching sit at the intersection of organization studies and Jewish studies. She is interested in how identity is constructed, experienced and managed in Jewish organizations, and how the complexity and diversity of Jewish identity can generate new insights around work and social justice. Edith was previously a teaching associate in the School of Business and Management at Queen Mary University of London. For over a decade she held professional and leadership positions in nonprofit organizations in Israel and the UK.
Her paper “Race, whiteness, and the diversity discourse: Lessons from UK Jewish organizations” won the Academy of Management Best Student Paper Award Runner-Up (2023); and her chapter “The political case for diversity: Managing difference in Jewish diaspora organizations” was recently published in The Elgar Research Handbook on Inequalities and Work (2024).
