Gender Discrimination at Work: Connecting Gender Stereotypes, Institutional Policies, and Gender Composition of Workplace
Research on gender inequality has posited the importance of gender discrimination for women’s experiences at work. Previous studies have suggested that gender stereotyping and organizational factors may contribute to discrimination.

Gender Bias in Artificial Intelligence: The Need for Diversity and Gender Theory in Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing the opinions and behavior of people in everyday life. However, the over-representation of men in the design of these technologies could quietly undo decades of advances in gender equality.

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

Fijian Reactions to Transgender‑Directed Workplace Mistreatment: The Moderating Role of the Victim’s Group Identifcation
Across the world, there is anecdotal evidence that transgender women tend to minimalize easily discernable identity cues to reduce the likelihood of facing antitransgender prejudice and discrimination. Thus, we believe that an examination of whether variability in transgender women’s group identification (i.e., strong or weak transgender group identification) might influence important life outcomes (e.g., workplace mistreatment) certainly seems warranted. Moreover,

Family-to-Work Conflict: Gender, Equity and Workplace Policies
Over the past three decades, as the increase in working mothers and changes in the role of “traditional fathers,” working couples are faced with allocating and dividing family and work responsibilities. A large body of research has examined how couples create a sense of balance in the midst of enormous family and work-related responsibilities, trade-offs, and sacrifices (Duxbury & Higgins,
