Bridging Bystander Intervention and Workplace Inclusion
Bystander intervention is widely assumed to foster workplace inclusion, yet no studies have directly examined this relationship. Through abductive qualitative analysis of 53 interviews across two contrasting organisations—a consulting firm and a remote mine site—we investigate how bystander intervention relates to workplace inclusion for targets, bystanders and transgressors. Our findings challenge the assumption that bystander intervention autom…

Fat Studies
Fat studies is a relatively new interdisciplinary field characterized by its critical approach to western society's views of fatness and fat people. Fat studies research projects vary widely but share some basic tenets. First, societies' attitudes toward fatness are socially constructed. Second, antifat constructions cause great harm to fat people and constitute discrimination against them. Third, some groups benefit from these constructions and …
Prejudice
Prejudice is the prejudgment of a person or idea based on perceived group association. Prejudice, an attitude, should be distinguished from discrimination, a behavior. Prejudice has been a subject of research since the early 1900s, when social scientists began to investigate its role in antisemitic and anti‐immigrant sentiment. Linked to stereotyping and authoritarianism, prejudice has manifested differently in different time periods, and its eff…
Prejudice
Prejudice is a judgment formed about someone or something on the basis of perceived group membership. Prejudice can be negative, as in the case of racist or sexist ideology, or positive, as in the case of preference for a particular ethnic food, and can thus either help or harm a person so judged. Some writers, in defining prejudice, stress an irrational component; others maintain that it is incorrect to do so, because prejudice is often rooted i…
Visual Representation of Fatness and Health in High School Health Texts
This project examines visual portrayals of fatness in a sample of five high school health textbooks. Findings include gross underrepresentation of fat people, universally negative portrayals of fatness, assumptions about the incompatibility of fatness with health, and numerous instances of confusing, contradictory, or dangerous advice to teens. These texts are likely to contribute to further stigmatization and marginalization of fat people and to…
Maternal visibility at the commodity frontier
Children's birthday parties are celebrations that offer a means to understand consumption values surrounding motherhood that can remain understated or even taken for granted. Mother's consumption activities and the involvement of their child can reveal their management of the commodity frontier. As the marketplace increasingly provides goods and services to support mothers and parenting, the extent to which this is acceptable is a source of anxie…
Prejudice
Prejudice is the judging of a person or idea, without prior knowledge of the person or idea, on the basis of some perceived group membership. Prejudice can be negative, as in the case of racist or sexist ideology, or positive, as in the case of a preference for a particular ethnic food, and can thus either help or harm a person so judged. Some writers, in defining prejudice, stress an incorrect or irrational component; others maintain that it is …
