Overview

Susanne M. Bruyère, Ph.D., CRC, is currently Professor of Disability Studies and the Academic Director of the Yang-Tan Institute on Employment and Disability, ILR School, Ithaca, N.Y. Dr. Bruyère has served as Project Director and Co-Principal Investigator of numerous federally-sponsored research, dissemination, and technical assistance efforts focused on employment and disability policy and effective workplace practices for people with disabilities. She is a past president of the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology (22) of the American Psychological Association, the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association, and the National Council on Rehabilitation Education. She holds a doctoral degree in Rehabilitation Counseling Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is a Fellow in the American Psychological Association (Divisions 14 and 22), the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, a member of the National Academy of Social Insurance, and has served as an Executive Board Member of the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology (22) American Psychological Association, a past-chair of GLADNET (the Global Applied Disability Research and Information Network on Employment and Training), and a past-chair and current Board Member of CARF (rehabilitation facility accreditation organization).

Teaching Statement 

My teaching focus is to teach in the Disability Studies Sequence within the ILR School. I offer the ILR-HR 4410/6410 course (Disability Considerations in HR Practice) and the ILR-HRS 4657/6657 (Workplace Disability Inclusion: Innovations and Initiatives-- Autism at Work), in the fall semester and a related Directed Study to support ILR students in select company settings for a 16-credit internship in the spring semester. I supervise ILR School credit internships in NYS-based organizations such as OPEN DOORS and Cafe Joyeux. I also support numerous undergraduate students each year in Honor's theses, independent studies, and targeted credit internships.

Research Statement 

My research focus is to identify facilitators to full inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the workforce and the workplace. This has included collaboration on use of a wide variety of analytical approaches/research methodologies and data sources, working with a team of collaborators from across the ILR School and the Yang-Tan Institute, and other universities and think tanks.

Service Statement 

My professional service efforts have been concentrated in leadership positions in national and global professional and disability advocacy associations related to improving employment outcomes and the general well-being of individuals with disabilities. I have served as President or chairperson of five national and global organizations focused on these issues.

Outreach Statement 

My outreach efforts are designed to be complementary to my research focus. I work to take new knowledge gained through research to the intended stakeholders who can assist in making change in disability inclusion in the workforce and the workplace (e.g., employers, policymakers, disability service providers, disability advocates, the media, general public, and individuals with disabilities and their families).
