Belief v. Belief: Resolving LGBTQ Rights Conflicts in the Religious Workplace
Employment disputes are increasingly centered on the conflicting moral and religious values of corporations, their employees, and their customers.

Gay glass ceilings: Sexual orientation and workplace authority in the UK
A burgeoning literature has examined earnings inequalities associated with a minority sexal orientation, but far less is known about sexual orientation-based differences in access to workplace authority –in contrast to well-documented gender and race-specific differences. We provide the first large-scale evidence on this question using confidential data from the 2009–2014 UK Integrated Household Surveys (IHS) ( N = 607,709). We

Using Artificial Intelligence to Promote Diversity
Artificial intelligence has had some justifiably bad press recently. Some of the worst stories have been about systems that exhibit racial or gender bias in facial recognition applications or in evaluating people for jobs, loans, or other considerations. 1 One program was routinely recommending longer prison sentences for blacks than for whites on the basis of the flawed use of
