Abstract

The GDO Division will host a preconference research workshop on the intersection of race and gender. To date, there has been little attention to the combined effects of race and gender on individuals’ work experiences. In this research workshop, participants will be exposed to four examples of groundbreaking research on the intersection of race and gender. Participants will then consider how they might incorporate the study of the combined effects of race and gender into their own research.
At the beginning of the workshop, Karen L. Proudford (Morgan State U.) and Stacy Blake (Harvard U.) will facilitate a lively and thought-provoking structured exercise that allows participants to explore how race, gender, and other dimensions of social identity affect their lives.

Next, the following distinguished panelists will present their groundbreaking research on the intersection of race and gender:

"Refracted Images of Black and White Women"
Ella E. Bell, U. of North Carolina, Charlotte

"The Plight of the British Black and Ethnic Minority Female Manager"
Marilyn J. Davidson, U. of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology

"Examining Race and Gender Effects in Promotions to Top Management"
Gary N. Powell, U. of Connecticut
D. Anthony Butterfield, U. of Massachusetts, Amherst.

"Exploring Demographic Differences in Attitudes towards Affirmative Action: Who, What, and Why?"
Myrtle P. Bell, U. of Texas, Arlington.

Following these stimulating presentations, participants will meet in small groups to share ideas for incorporating the study of combined effects of race and gender into their own research programs.

The workshop is open to all interested individuals. There is no fee for attending. Please pass on information about the workshop to your colleagues. Preregistration is encouraged but not required. For more information, contact Laura Graves.
