關於我們

The movement to diversify workplaces is decades old. By now, there are ample data on efforts to boost inclusion—an equal sense of belonging for every employee, regardless of differences. Results are…mixed. NYU Law Professor Kenji Yoshino argues that many companies’ definition of diversity comes with strings attached. 

In this masterclass, Yoshino turns to 20th-century sociologist Erving Goffman, who coined the term “covering” to describe how we all repress or modulate our identities in order to be accepted by the mainstream. Because identity and authenticity are important components of one’s self-worth, widespread efforts must be made to build bridges between people who feel the urge to cover. This is where companies striving to boost diversity and inclusion seriously need to step up their game.
