Description: Stanford GSB associate professor Adina Sterling shares how changes in her career path have affected her perspective and approach to scholarship. "For better or worse, I like to go into fields of inquiry and ask questions that nobody else is asking," she says. Sterling teaches a course called Equity by Design and focuses her work on building inclusivity in organizations. "Something that I will frequently say to my MBA students is that the real opposite of inclusion isn't exclusion — it's conformity." Reflecting on her work and teaching, Sterling says, "I just have an amazing job because I get to think about how to make the world a better place and then immediately interact with students who are striving to do the same thing, and then go out into the world and do just that."
