Webinar: Testing Hiring Discrimination in Canada’s Blue-Collar Industry [Partners only – EN]

May 24, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

  • « Virtual ProPride: Lead with Pride [EN]
  • Winnipeg ProPride »

Wednesday, May 24, 2023, from 12 PM to 1 PM EDT – this event is exclusive for employees of our Proud Partners and Community Partners.
Live Captioning will be provided by 3 Play Media Canada.

Research suggests that openly queer blue-collar workers are among the most marginalized in the labour market. To understand the role of anti-queer hiring discrimination in Canada’s blue-collar sector, economist Dr. Maryam Dilmaghani (Saint Mary’s University) and queer health scholar Dr. Margaret Robinson (Dalhousie University) conducted an experiment. Creating four fictitious job candidates with welding skills, they applied for 2000 entry-level jobs across Canada. Dr. Robinson will discuss their experiment, explain the findings, and consider what those results tell us about hiring discrimination in blue-collar Canada.

Learning Objectives:

  • Examine the nuances of anti-queer hiring discrimination in the sector
  • Explore the concept of orientation-related occupational segregation
  • Review the results of the study

Audience:

  • Proud Partners within the Blue-Collar Industry
  • Human Resource professionals
  • Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Professionals
