Professor Ladge's research dissects structural barriers faced by women and minorities through lenses of identity negotiation and career trajectory disruption. She examines how motherhood transitions reshape professional selves, investigates intersectional invisibility among Black executives, and develops frameworks for allyship in diversity training. Her work consistently emphasizes organizational accountability in creating family-supportive cultures.
Recent publications reveal escalating focus on mental health (postpartum depression, PTSD in crises) and infrastructure gaps (childcare, fertility support). She synthesizes intersectional identity theory with practical interventions, shifting from individual coping strategies to systemic policy reforms. The 2024-2025 output shows heightened attention to racialized gender experiences and pandemic-era work-family collisions.
Her accolades demonstrate field leadership:
- 2024 Responsible Research in Management Award (with Gabriel et al.)
- 2024 Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award nominee
- 2024 Honorary Professor, University of Exeter Business School
- 2022 Sucheta Nadkarni Award for Women Executive Leadership research
- 2022 SIOP Small Grant Award
As editorial board member for Academy of Management Journal and Journal of Applied Psychology, she shapes scholarly discourse while mentoring emerging researchers. Her grant portfolio includes the SIOP-funded study on working parents during crises, reflecting commitment to evidence-based workplace solutions. Current projects address fertility treatments, childcare infrastructure, and Black women's executive navigation strategies.
Her global influence extends through the University of Exeter affiliation and multi-institutional collaborations, with research frameworks adopted by Fortune 500 companies seeking to dismantle barriers for caregivers and underrepresented talent.
