Michel Anteby is a Professor of Management & Organizations at Boston University's Questrom School of Business and Sociology at Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences. He also co-leads Boston University's Precarity Lab.

His research looks at how individuals relate to their work, their occupations, and the organizations they belong to. He examines more specifically the practices people engage in at work that help them sustain their chosen cultures or identities. In doing so, his research contributes to a better understanding of how these cultures and identities come to be and manifest themselves. Studied populations have included airport security officers, clinical anatomists, factory craftsmen, ghostwriters, puppeteers, subway drivers, and university professors.
