Dr. Kathi N. Miner received a BA in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine, an MA in Experimental Psychology from Southern Methodist University, and a PhD in Psychology and Women’s Studies from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Dr. Miner was then an Associate Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology and Women’s and Gender Studies at Texas A&M University. In this role, she published over 40 articles in prestigious peer-reviewed journals and books, was awarded over $5 million in research grants, and gave over 100 presentations of her research at academic conferences. Her areas of expertise include the psychology of women, gender and diversity in organizations, workplace abuse and mistreatment, and occupational health and well-being. Wanting to make a more direct impact on women’s lives, Dr. Miner left academia for industry and is now a Diversity & Inclusion Specialist at a large energy company in the Middle East.

In her first book, The Committed Professor, A Memoir: My Fall from the Lectern to the Psych Ward, Dr. Miner tells the true story of the moment she found out about her husband’s infidelity to her being “committed” to a psychiatric hospital because of his prolonged narcissistic abuse. Her narrative of events is accompanied by actual text messages, emails, reports, and records to substantiate and exemplify her story. She also links her experiences to larger patriarchal societal structures related to gender, marriage, and divorce. She exposes by personal example how difficult divorce is for women because it is embedded in a system of sexism and misogyny.
