This edition includes expanded material on how jurisdictions formulate grounds of discrimination with thematic analysis on topics such as racism, sexism, and LGBTQ+ rights

AbstractThis article studies discrimination in a model in which promotions are used as signals of worker ability. The model can account for statistical and taste‐based discrimination. In the short run, a positive discrimination policy is beneficial for workers in the middle of the ability distribution, because these workers are promoted if and only if the policy is in place. Instead, workers of either high or low ability suffer from the policy. In the long run, the policy benefits all targeted workers. The model can explain empirical findings about the effects of a gender quota on the boards of Norwegian companies.

It analyses how the law in many European countries deals with cases of multiple discrimination. It will discuss the GendeRace Project, a project which aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of racial discrimination laws in a gender perspective, and some of its findings. This paper will also examine some alternative ways of addressing multiple discrimination in law and will give examples of good practice, some of which are based on the findings of the GenderRace project. The focus of the lessons that can be learned from these examples will be on the European Union level. ; peer-reviewed

Der Sport gilt auf der Ebene normativ-politischer Diskurse als ausgezeichnetes Medium einer universalen Verständigung und als ein gesellschaftlicher Bereich, der Gleichheitsideale in geradezu vorbildlicher Weise verwirklicht. Allerdings zeigt die Praxis des Sports von Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft, dass auch der Sport nicht frei von rassistischen Einstellungen und Diskriminierungen ist. Zu berücksichtigen ist dabei, dass es nicht "den" Rassismus sondern vielfältige Rassismen gibt, die historisch veränderlich sind und innerhalb komplexer Gesellschaften diverse, feldspezifische Formen annehmen können. Auf dem Feld des Sports stellt vor allem das Körperliche einen Schnittpunkt von Rassismus und Sportpraxis dar.

Algorithmic identity politics reinstate old forms of social segregation—in a digital world, identity politics is pattern discrimination. It is by recognizing patterns in input data that artificial intelligence algorithms create bias and practice racial exclusions thereby inscribing power relations into media. How can we filter information out of data without reinserting racist, sexist, and classist beliefs? ; Clemens Apprich: Introduction Hito Steyerl: A Sea of Data: Pattern Recognition and Corporate Animism (Forked Version) Florian Cramer: Crapularity Hermeneutics: Interpretation as the Blind Spot of Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Other Algorithmic Producers of the Postapocalyptic Present Wendy Hui Kyong Chun: Queerying Homophily Clemens Apprich: Data Paranoia: How to Make Sense of Pattern Discrimination

Why are women and people of color under-represented in U.S. politics? I offer a new explanation: strategic discrimination. Strategic discrimination occurs when an individual hesitates to support a candidate out of concern thatotherswill object to the candidate's identity. In a series of three experiments, I find that strategic discrimination exists, it matters for real-world politics, and it can be hard to overcome. The first experiment shows that Americans consider white male candidates more electable than equally qualified Black and white women, and to a lesser extent, Black men. These results are strongly intersectional, with Black women rated less electable than either Black men or white women. The second experiment demonstrates that anti-Trump voters weigh Democratic candidates' racial and gender identities when deciding who is most capable of beating Donald Trump in 2020. The third experiment finds that while some messages intended to combat strategic discrimination have no effect, diverse candidates can increase their perceived electability by showing that they have a path to victory. I conclude by arguing that strategic discrimination is especially salient in contemporary U.S. politics due to three parallel trends: increasing diversity among candidates, growing awareness of sexism and racism, and high levels of political polarization.
