「应用场景」
隐性劳动及“包容税”的负担
The Burdens of Invisible Labor and the “Inclusion Tax”
采达勒主要研究种族、性别、阶级、多元化及职场不平等如何严重影响有色人种女性的职场体验。她在《你看起来不像个律师:黑人女性及系统性的性别种族主义》(You Don’t Look Like a Lawyer: Black Women and Systemic Gendered Racism)一书中专门探讨了种族与性别印象如何影响黑人女律师职业生涯的问题。在书中,采达勒描述了“隐性劳动”的概念,即边缘化群体为了在社会及专业领域中求生存而必须付出的额外“隐性劳动”。她还引入了“包容税”的概念,描述仅仅为了在这些白人主导的领域遵守规范而“支出”的额外资源,如时间、金钱及情绪和精力等——这些都导致身处白人机构领域的有色人种的声音被压制。有色人种的能力每天都在受到质疑,而这种质疑并不会发生在其他白人员工身上。而且,黑人女性往往首当其冲去承担多元化工作,目的是为她们所在的组织打造出进步派的形象。
Tsedale’s research focuses on how race, gender, class, diversity, and workplace inequality play a major role in the professional experiences of women of color. Her book, You Don’t Look Like a Lawyer: Black Women and Systemic Gendered Racism, specifically examines how race and gender impact the career trajectories of Black women lawyers. In it, she describes the concept of the invisible labor clause, which is the added “invisible labor” marginalized groups are required to perform in order to navigate their daily existence within social and professional spaces. She also introduces the inclusion tax concept to describe the additional resources “spent,” such as time, money, and emotional and cognitive energy, just to adhere to the norms in these white spaces — all of which contributes to the silencing of people of color in white institutional spaces. Their competence is questioned daily in ways that their white counterparts are not. And Black women are often made to bear the brunt of doing the diversity work in order to have their organizations perceived as progressive.
