Podcast appearances and mentions of Adia Harvey Wingfield

Labor and race have shared a complex, interconnected history in America. For decades, key aspects of work—from getting a job to workplace norms to advancement and mobility—ignored and failed Black people. While explicit discrimination no longer occurs, and organizations make internal and public pledges to honor and achieve “diversity,” inequities persist through what Dr. Adia Harvey Wingfield calls the “gray areas:” the relationships, networks, and cultural dynamics integral to companies that are now more important than ever. The reality is that Black employees are less likely to be hired, stall out at middle levels, and rarely progress to senior leadership positions. Dr. Wingfield has spent a decade examining inequality in the workplace, interviewing over two hundred Black subjects across professions about their work lives. In Gray Areas: How the Way We Work Perpetuates Racism and What We Can Do to Fix It (Amistad Press, 2023), she introduces seven of them: Alex, a worker in the gig economy Max, an emergency medicine doctor; Constance, a chemical engineer; Brian, a filmmaker; Amalia, a journalist; Darren, a corporate vice president; and Kevin, who works for a nonprofit. In this accessible and important antiracist work, Dr. Wingfield chronicles their experiences and blends them with history and surprising data that starkly show how old models of work are outdated and detrimental. She demonstrates the scope and breadth of gray areas and offers key insights and suggestions for how they can be fixed, including shifting hiring practices to include Black workers; rethinking organizational cultures to centralize Black employees' experience; and establishing pathways that move capable Black candidates into leadership roles. These reforms would create workplaces that reflect America's increasingly diverse population—professionals whose needs organizations today are ill-prepared to meet. It's time to prepare for a truly equitable, multiracial future and move our culture forward. To do so, we must address the gray areas in our workspaces today. This definitive work shows us how. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 01/26/24 We hear updates on the suicide death of Dr. Antoinette Bonnie Candia-Bailey. Lincoln University continues to investigate the circumstances of her death and how White staff members at Lincoln University contributed to the Racist work environment Dr. Cadia-Bailey alleged before taking her life. St. Louis Public radio featured Adia Harvey Wingfield, PhD to place this tragic death within the context of White Supremacy/Racism in the area of labor. Wingfield authored Gray Areas: How The Way We Work Perpetuates Racism & What We Can Do To Fix It. This book was published in 2023, and Gus was just gave serious consideration to reading this book in the Katherine Massey Book Club. Wingfield's commentary on Dr. Cadia-Bailey, which completely omitted how black male educators are impacted by White Supremacy in the academy, helped explain why Gus selected a different book. We also discuss the pending court case ignited by the abuse of Titus Shields, privileged black male. Shields, a former officer in the Beaver County, Pennsylvania jail, charges that he and black inmates were subject to White Supremacist abuse and that his White colleagues poisoned his food with "spit and snot." #CultureOfRacism #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The untimely death of Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey and allegations of mistreatment while serving as Lincoln University's vice president of student affairs has sparked conversation about hostile work environments and bullying across industries — particularly with employees that are part of marginalized communities. Wash U sociology professor Adia Harvey-Wingfield discusses research on who's most likely to face such situations and how to avoid further tragedy.

It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which has us thinking about the state of our nation — specifically, the state of diversity in our nation. It's a complicated subject, to be sure, so to help us think through it, we're joined by Adia Harvey Wingfield, a professor of sociology at Washington University, whose new book, "Gray Areas," examines why racial inequality persists in the workplace despite today's multi-billion-dollar diversity industry and what actions we can take to create an equitable, multiracial future.

In this episode, we welcome Dr.  Adia Harvey Wingfield, sociologist and leading race and labor expert, to discuss her new book, “Gray Areas: How the way we work perpetuates racism and what we can do to fix it.” Adia breaks down her research findings about “gray areas”--the relationships, networks, and cultural dynamics integral to companies that exist apart from the specific expectations and duties required for any given job.  These gray areas are a key reason why employees of color, particularly Black workers, remain less likely to be hired, stall out at middle levels, and rarely progress to senior leadership positions.  We discuss the particular relevance of this research to Black women in the workplace, and why a “race-blind” approach in organizations actually harms more than it helps.  Additionally, Adia offers key insights into what organizations can do to fix these issues and create more supportive environments for Black employees.     About Adia Dr. Adia Wingfield is a sociologist who researches racial and gender inequality in professional occupations.

In the U.S., we have laws and policies in place to prevent discrimination of Black workers. In addition, we have leaders who make public pledges in support of diversity goals. Yet the data continue to show that Black employees are less likely to be hired, more likely to stall out in mid-level positions, and stand little chance of gaining senior level positions. Why is that? Adia Harvey Winfield's work lies at the intersection of labor and race, and her research reveals that, for Black workers, there are gray areas. These gray areas are the cultural, social, and relational factors that influence who gets hired, who gets promoted, and who finds it easiest to navigate the workplace. That's what she writes about in her latest book, Gray Areas: How the Way We Work Perpetuates Racism and What We Can Do to Fix It. Adia shares powerful stories of Black workers across all kinds of professions and organizations. We're taken into the lived experiences of individual Black employees as they navigate landmines most of us don't even see. It's a book that took my understanding of racism in the workplace to a whole other level.

Kathryn interviews Author Carrie Rickert.A catalyst is something or someone that provokes significant change. A trauma can be a catalyst too. The change--whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or all three--doesn't happen immediately. The change is a journey with side steps and detours along the way. The only hard and fast rule is that you can't go back to who you were before. Carrie Rickert, a seasoned business life coach and consultant shares her journey of change after such a catalyst. Her life-threatening accident and related complications started her down this path of examining what was, what is, and what could be. Most importantly, this is a story of hope, of possibility and of embracing the fight to become something new. Rickert is the founder and CEO of Nomis Advisors, a management consultancy firm.Kathryn also interviews Author Adia Harvey Wingfield PhD. Despite today's multi-billion-dollar diversity industry, workplace inequality is still very real. While explicit discrimination no longer occurs and organizations make internal and public pledges to honor and achieve “diversity” - employees of color, particularly Black workers, remain less likely to be hired, stall out at middle levels, and rarely progress to senior leadership positions. Why? According to award-winning sociologist Adia Harvey Wingfield PhD the reason is to be found in what she calls “gray areas.” She provides actionable solutions for creating a truly equitable future, including “what you can do” checklists geared toward management, HR and colleagues. Wingfield is the Mary Tileston Hemenway Professor of Arts & Sciences and Vice Dean for Faculty Development and Diversity at Washington University in St. Louis. She writes regularly for mainstream outlets, including Slate, The Atlantic and Vox.

Sheryl Glick host of Healing From Within Interviews Dr. Aida Harvey Wingfield author of Flatlining focusing on the processes that maintain racial and gender inequality in professional workplaces. We are now in the greatest spiritual evolution of human development and perhaps, the time to correct past inequalities is finally here. Dr. Adia Harvey Wingfield a Professor of Sociology at Washington University at St. Louis, Missouri will discuss how the problem of inequality and gender disparity has been here long before Covid19 though the pandemic has magnified it as it has many problems in our institutions and corporations. What happens to black professionals in the new economy, where work is insecure and organizational resources are scarce? Dr. Wingfield will expose how institutions participate in “racial outsourcing,” relying heavily on black professionals to do “equity work,”—extra labor that makes organizations and their services more accessible to communities of color. Yet. often black workers do this labor without recognition, compensation or support. Learn more about Sheryl here: http://www.sherylglick.com/

The Civil Rights movement opened up new work opportunities for Black workers. But, decades later, African-Americans work disproportionately in low-wage jobs and are overrepresented in the jobs at highest risk of vanishing because of workplace automation. White workers, meanwhile, are 50 percent more likely to hold “future proof” jobs. These are the kind of jobs that build often on education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. And for those Black workers who do find a path to “future proof” jobs in health care or tech, the reward often includes a hostile work environment. And that's bad news for every American. One study found that eliminating racial inequality could boost the U.S. economy by as much as $2.3 trillion a year. What are we waiting for?

In this week’s episode, Dr. Venus goes in on what it means to love Black Men who wear the wounds of White Supremacy, Slavery, Bigotry, and Racism like emotional armor. She sets the historical and emotional context between White Supremacy and Black Masculinity, and why understanding the dance between these two can help Black Men and Women relate and care for one another. Dr. Venus then discusses how Black Women can hold space for Black Men in a way that is protective, supportive, and real.   Key Takeaways:  [3:39] Dr. Venus opens the show with a reading of her poem, “Please”, which explores what it means to love a Black Man that wears the wounds of history like armor. [6:15] There is a historical wound in Black Men that is rooted in the history of White Supremacy, from 1619 to 2020. This shapes how they relate and react to Black Women and the people that love them.  [7:01] In the plantation household with Chattel slavery, there were four players: Master (White Man), Mistress (White Woman), Maid (Black Woman), and Slave (Black Man). That institution was rooted in survival, and because the White Slave Owners were outnumbered, there was always this unspoken fear of an uprising. This made White people even more vicious, which is something we are seeing today in this time of growth and upheaval. [8:26] White Supremacy is an ideology and power dynamic to try and keep Black people in a lower social position so that white people can feel superior and alive. Black masculinity is the biggest threat to White Supremacy. [10:18] Black Men look for their self worth and identity in Providing, Protecting, and Procreating. Their sense of self is centered outside of their own sense of self, looking to the world around them, including their wife or partner. Falling short in these categories can mean he feels like a failure, instead of looking at the faulty structure in the institution. [18:59] When a Black Woman feels like she is not heard, she may get loud or need to have the last word. The more she speaks up, the more he feels like she is talking down. Black Women have historically been unheard and taken care of. This can look like a betrayal and set off a feeling of being triggered over past and ingrained trauma. [25:08] White Supremacy has impacted Black Men in a way that is different from Black Women. The most violated, abused and tormented in human history is the Black Male body. [26:50] Instead of quickly reacting or becoming angry, we can empathize that Black Men have not had the time and space for much self-reflection.  We can create a safe space for Black Men to tell the truth without judgment or condemnation, request, or demand.  [29:42] We have a gender bias against Black Men, expecting them to take care of us when they have never been taught. If we provide a safe space, they can learn and begin to heal.    Quotes: “White people need a slave to know themselves as a Master.” “Black Men have historical wounds that are so rooted in White Supremacy that it’s invisible for them because it looks like it’s a character trait.” “I’m going to set aside my pain to take care of your wounds.” “You have to love somebody enough to grow with them when they are wounded.” “Until you take on you, he won’t have any space to heal him.” “It will be the healed Black Woman that transforms the world.”   Mentioned:  Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Series  Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition  Join the conversation!

Dr. Adia Harvey Wingfield is a Professor of Sociology at Washington University. Harvard Business Review wrote that: Washington University in St. Louis has one of the more racially diverse sociology departments in academia today. Therefore when Dr. Wingfield speaks and writes on inequity in the workplace, she does so with the experience of equity being possible. Her most recent book: Flatlining: Race, Work, and Health Care in the New Economy focuses largely on the health care field, touches on the public sector, and it's all applicable to all workplaces. Follow her on Twitter @AdiaHWingfield

Washington University’s Adia Harvey Wingfield, who is a professor of sociology, has long been interested in the ways that race, class and gender influence everyday workplace structures and interactions. Her most recent book, “Flatlining: Race, Work, and Health Care in the New Economy,” looks closely at the experiences of black workers in health care — as does a new study of which she is the co-author. Focused around 60 in-depth interviews with black doctors, nurses and technicians, the study suggests that among people of color, one’s professional status within an organizational hierarchy has a significant effect on how one perceives instances of racial discrimination. In this segment, Harvey Wingfield joins host Sarah Fenske to discuss the implications of this research for the health care industry and beyond.

Dr. Adia Harvey Wingfield is a Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis. She is also a writer, and author of two important books in the health care field, the latest: Flatlining--Race, Work, and Healthcare in the New Economy. Very readable, it's important information for anyone who cares about people, about equity, about social justice. With a lens here on the health care field, Dr. Harvey-Wingfield brings to light the backward slide that has taken place, and thus provides the direction in which we need to move.

You know we love talking about feelings, and we love talking about work. So when we saw that a new book was hitting stores this month called No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotion at Work, we just knew we had to talk about it. We’re joined today by one of the book’s coauthors, Liz Fosslien. She’s an information designer, an illustrator, and a woman on a mission to help people understand that feelings aren’t just normal, they’re crucial—even on the job. > You’re not the only person that is feeling anxiety, that is feeling joy, that is feeling frustration. There’s this really traditional view that you should check your feelings at the door when you enter an office. And research shows that we are emotional creatures, regardless of circumstance. So, it’s actually biologically impossible to feel nothing. > —Liz Fosslien, coauthor, No Hard Feelings We talk about: Why you shouldn’t “check your feelings at the door” How listening to your feelings can make you smarter The problem with suppressing emotions to be “successful” Why our love affair with “rational thinking” at work is failing us When and how to start talking about your feelings with colleagues Links: The book: No Hard Feelings Liz and Mollie’s website Names drops from the interview: Pat Wadors, the CHRO of ServiceNow; Mellody Hobson and her TED Talk, “Color Brave or Colorblind”; sociology professor Adia Harvey Wingfield; psychology professor Kira Hudson Banks; and Gregory M. Walton, the Stanford professor behind The Belonging Guide Plus: Everybody’s winging it all the time, not just you The worst part of feeling like an imposter is the loneliness Fuck yeah to boss women—like Emilie Aries and her podcast, Bossed Up—Sara’s latest binge > I think most of us feel like we’re winging it in life in general...and we just don’t talk about it enough. And so then what happens is people who are struggling feel like everybody else has it all together. But no, we totally don’t have it all together. > —Sara
