Despite strict regulations and laws, gender-based discrimination can be seen in almost all working places.

Adhering, Steering, and Queering: Treatment of Gender in Natural Language Generation

However, the algorithms underpinning NLG have come under scrutiny for reinforcing gender, racial, and other problematic biases. Recent research in NLG seeks to remove these biases through principles of fairness and privacy. Drawing on gender and queer theories from sociology and Science and Technology studies, we consider

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion That Matter
My pending exodus from academic medicine after 15 years is prompted by my belief that the institutional and systemic racism so obvious to me would never be fully acknowledged, much less addressed. This belief was formed after several experiences that left me — a Black woman — feeling stifled, unheard, unvalidated, unsupported, and concerned for my health.1 Too often, academic

Intersecting age and gender in workplace discrimination complaints
Older female workers experience significant barriers in the labor market. Despite the growing proportion of women in the labor force, gender wage gaps and gendered occupational segregation are still major problems.1 Non-standard employment and precarious work are more common among women than men.2 Women also bear significant unpaid caregiving responsibilities and experience interrupted paid working lives.3 As female workers age,

One Group’s Advantage or Another Group’s Disadvantage? How Comparative Framing Shapes Explanations of, and Reactions to, Workplace Gender Inequality
Gender inequality is usually described as women’s disadvantage, only rarely as men’s advantage. Moreover, it is often illustrated by metaphors such as the glass ceiling—an invisible barrier to women’s career advancement—metaphors that often also focus on women’s disadvantage. Two studies (N = 228; N = 495) examined effects of these different ways of framing gender inequality. Participants read about gender

Moving from intersectional hostility to intersectional solidarity Insights from LGBTQ individuals in Turkey
Purpose – Treatment of intersectionality in empirical studies has predominantly engaged with individual categories of difference. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that there is utility in exploring intersectionality at the intersection of individual and institutional levels. As such the authors move beyond the polarised take on intersections as either individual or institutional phenomenon and tackle intersectionality as
