Rachel Campagna is an Associate Professor of Management. She has been recognized for her excellence in teaching, in the areas of negotiation and decision-making, and for her research, which examines trust in negotiation and workplace contexts. As a behavioral scientist, Rachel is fascinated by the choices people make in difficult contexts, and in particular, how emotion and trust-breaking affect people’s perceptions and behaviors. Her research has been published in the field’s top journals, such as the Journal of Applied Psychology and Organizational Behavior & Decision Processes. Rachel was also a TEDx speaker, presenting the counterintuitive idea that anger can be used to create value instead of break it, when the recipient of anger reframes the situation from a different, more passionate, and less angry perspective.
