Associate Professor of Executive Leadership Program, Human and Organizational Learning, Graduate School of Education and Human Development
The general focus of Julia Storberg-Walker's scholarship has been on theorizing, understanding, or uncovering learning-related social processes within work contexts. Dr. Storberg-Walker uses applied theory building research methods to understand how people learn and work together, how social norms of work emerge, and how power and gender shape what we learn and know. Her current focus on women and leadership, and the role of human resource development (HRD) in developing leaders, combines scholarship and academic activism to extend my theoretical work into the realm of leadership practice. She envisions a return to her earlier policy-making agenda and has been working with others to enhance global workforce and social policies for women and girls. In 2001 she began her PhD in human resource development (HRD) at the University of Minnesota and graduated in 2004. Dr. Storberg-Walker is a member of the International Leadership Association's 'Women and Leadership Affinity Group' Executive Team, Co-Lead the 'Advancing Women and Leadership Theory' Colloquium', and served as a lead author of the Asilomar Declaration and Call to Action.
