Description

About the Lecture:

"Recreational Racism and Friendly Sexism: Corporate Culture and Racial Minorities in Latin America"

This talk addresses an important but always neglected subject: the ways in which hostile humor operates as an instrument that reproduces racial and male dominance in corporate spaces. By examining employment discrimination cases in Latin American coutries, the authour demonstrates that humor creates significant obstacles to integration of minorities in social settings that normalizes male and white identities as examples of ideal employees.
