Mary Blair-Loy is professor of sociology at UC San Diego. She uses multiple methods to study gender, work, and family. Much scholarship emphasizes individuals’ strategic trade-offs or implicit biases. In contrast, Professor Blair-Loy analyzes normative cultural models of a worthwhile life, including the “work devotion schema” (which defines professional work as a calling that penalizes involved caregiving) and the “schema of scientific excellence” (which defines scholarly excellence in terms of culturally masculine traits such as assertive self-promotion). Her 2022 book Misconceiving Merit with Erin Cech uses multiple types of evidence to show that these cultural schemas are broadly embraced yet harm scientists and science. A 2022 article in Science shows how hiring rubrics can devalue women academic engineers. A 2019 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences article with Cech uses longitudinal data to show substantial attrition of new mothers from STEM and was recognized as a Top 10 PNAS Article of 2019 to make a “large impact on the public understanding of science.” Professor Blair-Loy has been recognized as a “Top Ten Extraordinary Contributor” in the “Landmark Contributions” category in the international field of work-family
