DESCRIPTION:Getting to Diversity\n\nPresented by Alexandra Kalev\n\nAssocia
 te Professor of Sociology and Anthropology\n	Tel Aviv University\n\nDate: F
 riday\, April 14\, 2023\n	Time: 2:30 - 4:00 pm EDT\n	Location: Room 340\, Br
 onfman Building (1001 Sherbrooke St W\, Montreal\, Quebec H3A 1G5)\n\nRegi
 ster\n\nThis talk will examine results from evidenced-based research cover
 ing almost 1\,000 organizations over 45 years about which organizational c
 hanges work to increase diversity\, which ones don't work\, and why. The k
 ey argument is that while decision-makers' bias is certainly a culprit\, i
 nequality has been institutionalized in the normal way of doing business. 
 The most effective ways for reducing diversity are thus those that reduce 
 the systemic bias rooted in career systems and in work routines that make 
 it hard for women and minorities to succeed in the workplace. The talk wil
 l discuss a theory of systemic inequality and present general principles f
 or planning effective diversity programs.\n\nAbout Alexandra Kalev\n\nAlex
 andra Kalev is Associate Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Tel Av
 iv University. Professor Kalev draws on management\, economics\, law and p
 sychology to study organizations\, work and inequality. Her work on the la
 bor process looks at how the reorganization of work and economic crises af
 fect gender and racial inequality. Her award-winning paper 'Cracking the G
 lass Cages?' shows how reducing segregation helps women and people of colo
 r to display their talents and move into management. With Frank Dobbin\, s
 he is developing an evidence-based approach to managing diversity in corpo
 rations and universities as well as the effects of workforce diversity on 
 firms’ financial performance. Their book 'Getting to Diversity: What Works
  and What Doesn't'\, was recently published by Harvard University Press. I
 n other projects Kalev studies meaning making in reaction to experiences o
 f discrimination\, focusing on the integration of Israeli Arabs in emergin
 g markets\, and the effective innovations for reducing managers' ambivalen
 t bias against older workers.\n
