DESCRIPTION:60+ years since the Civil Rights Act\, and decades into the mai
 nstreaming of DEI programming\, racial disparities in the workplace still 
 persist. Black workers experience extensive wage inequality\, remain less 
 likely to be hired\, stall out at midlevel positions\, and rarely advance 
 to the top ranks of organizations. Dr. Adia Harvey Wingfield's book\, Gray
  Areas\, explains this seeming paradox by introducing the concept of “gr
 ay areas” to highlight the sociological dynamics of work that continue t
 o impede Black employees’ progress. Following the narratives of seven Bl
 ack workers in fields ranging from academia to medicine to entertainment\,
  her book shows unexpected ways that basic aspects of work are themselves 
 major contributors to racial inequality. Join us for this Black History Mo
 nth Open Classroom program to hear Dr. Harvey Wingfield discuss key concep
 ts and stories from her book.\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Adia Harvey Wingfield\nMa
 ry Tileston Hemenway Professor of Arts & Sciences\,\nCo-Director of the Of
 fice of Public Scholarship\, and Assistant Vice Provost Washington Univers
 ity in St. Louis
