Dr. Vincent Roscigno, professor of Sociology at Ohio State University will be giving a lecture titled Micro-Politics of Discrimination, Incivility, and Legitimation at Work on Tuesday evening at 7pm in Gannett Auditorium.

The Oct. 6 talk will focus on what Roscigno describes as “the sociological evidence…that race, gender, and age discrimination, as well as more general forms of incivility, persist in American workplaces.” Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data of nearly 75,000 cases of employment discrimination and ethnographic accounts of workplace bullying, Roscigno has analyzed the prevalent dynamics of inequality and the ways in which such inequality is legitimated by employers. <via Scope>
