Take Your Feet Off Our Necks: Implicit Bias in the Workplace

Professional accomplishments notwithstanding, women and people of color all too often face microaggression, diminution, and exclusion in a workforce that equates white collar with white male. Unpack race-based and gender-based workplace discrimination with Tsedale Melaku, author of You Don’t Look Like a Lawyer, Vincent Southerland, Executive Director of NYU’s Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law, and Jamia Wilson, publisher of the Feminist Press. Moderated by Erica Chito Childs, Chairman of Sociology at Hunter College.
