1. On Gender and Appearance in the Workplace:
“Appearance, especially women’s, can be an invisible mechanism of discrimination and interpreted as a justification for sexual and gender-based harassment.” (from "Women's Appearance as the Focus of Attention in Organizations," 2019)
2. On Gendered Ageism:
“Women suffer from gendered ageism, which is often related to looks. However, issues about appearance are seldom analyzed from the perspectives of organizational practices and women’s career barriers.” (from "Women's Appearance as the Focus of Attention in Organizations," 2019)
3. On Organisational Culture and Discrimination:
“There is a tendency for management to neglect the problem of appearance-based discrimination, leading to its escalation and, eventually, to negative consequences for both organisations and individuals.” (from "Women's Appearance as the Focus of Attention in Organizations," 2019)
4. On Non-Merit-Based Evaluation:
“How does appearance affect career success? And finally, what are the consequences of the non-merit-based evaluation of workers and managers?” (from "Women's Appearance as the Focus of Attention in Organizations," 2019)
