Christine L. Williams is Professor of Sociology and the Elsie and Stanley E. (Skinny) Adams, Sr. Centennial Professor in Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. She received her Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California, Berkeley and served as the 111th President of the American Sociological Association in 2020. Her work focuses on gender, race, and class inequality in workplace settings across various industries. Williams' research examines how social inequalities become embedded in organizational structures and workplace cultures. Her scholarship spans multiple domains including gender atypical occupations, retail work, and the oil and gas industry. She has conducted extensive research using qualitative methods to understand workplace dynamics, particularly focusing on gender, sexuality, and power relations in professional settings. Her publications reveal trends in workplace inequality, particularly how diversity initiatives often fail to address systemic issues. Williams' work shows that while companies may implement diversity programs, economic downturns often lead to disproportionate layoffs of women and minorities, allowing industries to revert to their white male cores. Her research demonstrates how organizational gaslighting occurs when companies maintain rhetoric about diversity while implementing practices that undermine it. Jessie Bernard Award from American Sociological Association Rosabeth Moss Kanter Career Award from ASA section on Occupations, Organizations, and Work Distinguished Lecturer Award from Sociologists for Women in Society Feminist Mentor Award from Sociologists for Women in Society Williams has chaired the Department of Sociology at UT Austin from 2010-2014 and edited the journal Gender and Society from 2003-2006.
