Professor Bronfenbrenner obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in 1976, and earned her doctorate in 1993, both from Cornell University. She is considered a respected expert on labor union organizing and collective bargaining strategies, a reputation gained in part through her studies of anti-union tactics utilized by employers in NLRB-sponsored union organizing elections. She has also conducted research on the impact of outsourcing and offshoring on workers, wages, employment and unions, not only in the United States but worldwide.

Her late father, Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner, was a well known researcher in the field of developmental psychology.
