Keeping an optimistic outlook on life’s challenging issues doesn’t always come easy. But, through her research, Professor Mary Godwyn has found reasons to be hopeful.

Godwyn, who teaches sociology in the History and Society Division, focuses her research in areas such as the environment, ethics in business, gender inequality, and diversity. She has uncovered much that’s inspiring, and she loves sharing the information with her students to make them question their perceptions about the business world and to prepare them for the road ahead.
