- Description
- This book combines gender theory, case studies, and the legal challenges surrounding the mechanisms of gender discrimination at work. It gives real-life examples from managers (based on interviews with people who experienced discrimination) that helps to understand how gender discrimination operates, even when there are legal protections against it. At the end of each case study, readers are asked to put themselves in the shoes of the individual experiencing the discrimination and ask themselves reflect on how they would handle the situation. They must examine their own beliefs about gender and work place practices and consider consequences of actions they might take. In addition to the sections of theory, cases, and legal challenges, websites of interest are included.
