- Quinetta Roberson is a Professor of Management in the Villanova School of Business. She earned her PhD in organizational behavior from the University of Maryland, and holds an MBA in finance and strategy from the University of Pittsburgh and a BS in finance and accounting from the University of Delaware. Professor Roberson's research focuses on understanding how to enhance fairness in work teams and how the management of diversity can improve organizational effectiveness. Her research has appeared in several management and psychology journals, and she is the editor of a Handbook of Diversity in the Workplace published by Oxford University Press. When Professor Roberson is not working on her research, she teaches courses globally on human resource management at the undergraduate, graduate and executive levels.
Professor Roberson is a social scientist, and enjoys being social as much as she enjoys being a scientist. She is an avid traveler, having lived in Milan, given presentations in over 20 countries, hiked Machu Picchu, and gone on safari in South Africa. She considers herself an oenophile and earned a Baccalauréat Vigne et Vin in 2012. She has been snowboarding for 10+ years and raced in Aspen this year. In the true sense of social science, Professor Roberson believes that "all life is an experiment; the more experiments you make, the better" (Ralph Waldo Emerson). It is this belief that also motivated her to discover how she could combine her knowledge and experience with others in the Villanova community to create, innovate and inspire.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Excellent job Ms. Roberson! Great way to get your point across!
More than a professor...excellent social planner! Just heard and watched in awe at Dr. Roberson on television show The Chew.
Outstanding. I am doing a Ted Talk this Thursday on Change vs. Transformation: Little Misses that Impact Our Lives. I like synthesis and fusion instead of Inclusion.
Exceptional discussion! Two great themes - Ignite Change & Go Beyond Inclusion
Great Job Quinetta!
Let's go Quinetta!!
That was great!
enjoyed this!
AWESOME !!!!
You're beginning to encounter a question philosophers ask. How can simplicity produce complexity, or even, why is there something instead of nothing? You're on the verge of saying that we need it. And I get that. However, one law of physics says that for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. You could also say, for every benefit there's a cost, or there's two sides to every coin, or even, for every inclusion there's an exclusion. For example, there would be no need to INCLUDE anything, unless it WAS different. If it was the same, it would be intrinsically included, and no need for any further inclusion/exclusion, except to limit the quantity of it. Some part of two-gallons of water, must be excluded from a one-gallon container. Unless, someone creates a two-gallon container. What you are suggesting here, is that we/someone/everybody continue to create an infinite entity capable of including all possibilities of everything (as we know it). And I don't disagree. However, I theorize that the reason people tend to exclude social scientists from "the group", is because social scientists have already excluded themselves from the "subjects to be studied" group. You need to transcend the stereotype/stigma of "to social scientists, every social group is something to be studied". THAT is what separates you from society. THAT's the cost of that field that you want to benefit from. Are you really ready to pay that price? You can't have an objective view/observation of a group/entity that you yourself belong to. Your view/observations will always include a subjective experienced/biased lens thru which you see things. But, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. You just have to be aware of it.
Dr. Roberson in this Tedx Talk was too smart for some people to understand. I understood though. A phenomenal speaker. Well done.
If Diversity will increase profits, businesses will pursue it vigorously.
Yes but not in every case. Many universities (e.g.: University of Michigan) have studies about in which specific cases diversity leades to increase of profit, better ideas and more innovations. That is why many organizations that learned about it are already pursuing it.
There’s no data anywhere at any time in any organization to suggest that diversity and inclusion promulgates profit or progress. These programs are simply driven by grievance politics and pseudoscientists.
SHE is attractive and smart yes indeed !!!
Science of coercion
She has the Jane Elliott experiment backwards. The blue-eyed kids were excluded. And I don't think this talks lives up to its title. I was hoping for more science about inclusion not what inclusion means in other contexts and how inclusion doesn't work so we need fusion.
I have never seen such drivel. Another reason I sent my children to private school.

so this is what passes for a ted talk nowdays
Here is some attention, do you feel better :)
Inclusion has become a "science"....sweet mother of God, the end of humanity is upon us.
