Bio
Before joining EDHEC, Maïlys George was a postdoctoral researcher at IESE Business School, and obtained her PhD in organizational behavior in 2021 at ESSEC. Maïlys's research revolves around two broad themes: Role transitions, and identity. Her research on role transitions explores how individuals move across different positions and the challenges that accompany such movement. In her research on identity, she investigates how individuals sustain representations of themselves that foster feelings of continuity and coherence in contexts characterized by uncertainty. Her work explores the intersection of the two themes and the role of identity in undertaking and navigating role transitions.
