Biography

Dr. Maureen Bourassa (PhD) is an Associate Professor of Marketing at the Edwards School of Business (Edwards). Through her research, she tries to understand what respect means to people, why it matters in marketplace contexts, and what exactly organizations can do to build and convey respect. Bourassa’s other research focuses on stakeholder engagement: how do socially responsible organizations successfully engage stakeholders, and how can the barriers of adversarial stakeholder engagement be overcome? Her work has been published in the European Journal of Marketing, the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing, Science Communication, and others.
