Professor Nada Basir, along with co-authors Jamie Ladge and Serena Sohrab, has had her paper, “Disrupted selves in transition: How women navigate fertility treatments in the context of work”, (Basir, Ladge, and Sohrab, 2026), selected as an Editor’s Choice by the Journal of Applied Psychology.
The paper examines the challenges women face in balancing fertility treatments with their professional responsibilities, offering new insights into work-life transitions.
“One in six couples worldwide experience infertility, yet it remains largely invisible in organizational life. Our research sheds light on how women navigate fertility treatments while working — a topic long overlooked in management research, but one that speaks to broader questions of personal and professional identities, resilience, and how we show up for people in our organizations,” says Basir.
Editor’s Choice selections highlight research that is particularly impactful and influential within the field, providing additional visibility for work that advances psychological science.
This recognition reflects Basir’s ongoing commitment to innovative research that informs both scholarship and practice, reinforcing the Conrad School’s focus on understanding complex workplace experiences.
