「應用場景」
隱性勞動及“包容稅”的負擔
The Burdens of Invisible Labor and the “Inclusion Tax”
?
采達勒主要研究種族、性別、階級、多元化及職場不平等如何嚴重影響有色人種女性的職場體驗。她在《你看起來不像個律師:黑人女性及系統(tǒng)性的性別種族主義》(You Don’t Look Like a Lawyer: Black Women and Systemic Gendered Racism)一書中專門探討了種族與性別印象如何影響黑人女律師職業(yè)生涯的問題。在書中,采達勒描述了“隱性勞動”的概念,即邊緣化群體為了在社會及專業(yè)領域中求生存而必須付出的額外“隱性勞動”。她還引入了“包容稅”的概念,描述僅僅為了在這些白人主導的領域遵守規(guī)范而“支出”的額外資源,如時間、金錢及情緒和精力等——這些都導致身處白人機構領域的有色人種的聲音被壓制。有色人種的能力每天都在受到質(zhì)疑,而這種質(zhì)疑并不會發(fā)生在其他白人員工身上。而且,黑人女性往往首當其沖去承擔多元化工作,目的是為她們所在的組織打造出進步派的形象。
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.
