Is it time to re-think positive discrimination? Speaker: Mike Noon: Professor of Human Resource Management at the School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London Hosted by the Ethnic Diversity at Work Group (Sponsored by the Division of Occupational Psychology) & Department of Organizational Psychology, Birkbeck, University of London This seminar invites you leave your prejudices at the door and think again about positive discrimination. It answers the charges levelled at the concept by critics. It explores the varied meanings of the concept and resultant forms that positive discrimination can take. It challenges you to consider whether some of these might be applicable and valuable to contemporary organisations. It explores how such approaches might be related to 'business case' and 'social justice' rationales for equality, diversity and inclusion.
