Education: B.A., Vanderbilt University; Ed.M., Harvard University; Ph.D., INSEAD

Shelly Qi is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia. Her research pursues two complementary streams. The first examines how social categories, such as social class origin and race, shape social networks, and how those networks in turn reproduce category differences. The second examines how multiplex workplace relationships influence individuals' well-being and performance, and how people navigate these relationships differently. Her work has been nominated for a Best Student-Led Paper Award at the Academy of Management.

Shelly has experience teaching Negotiation and Power and Politics. In her negotiation workshop, she helps students uncover shared interests and move beyond a fixed-pie mindset toward integrative, value-creating agreements.

She earned her Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior from INSEAD, following an Ed.M. in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University and a B.A. in Economics and Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University.
