We draw on a field experiment conducted in five European countries to analyze hiring discrimination on the basis of gender and race. We adopt an intersectional perspective and relate existing theories on gender and racial discrimination to recent work on the gendered stereotype content of different races. We find that employers prefer hiring white women over men for female-typed jobs.

The effects of the organizational culture on diversity management perceptions in hotel industry

The benefits of climate for inclusion for gender-diverse groups
