30427 - Inequalities at Work

Description

This thematic session focuses on employment inequalities at work. While there is a growing literature documenting inequalities in hiring, it is important to understand how inequalities are produced, reproduced, or challenged on the job after the point of hire. Panelists will discuss field studies that address inequalities at work by gender, race, social class, disability status, sexuality, and the intersections of multiply marginalized identities. We embrace an interdisciplinary approach and bring together scholars using qualitative and quantitative approaches from sociology, management, political science, and law.
