"A cutting edge, objective, relentless approach to inclusion. American companies spend close to $8 billion annually on diversity efforts, with remarkably few results. Too often diversity efforts rest on the assumption that all that's needed is an earnest conversation about 'privilege.' That's not enough. To truly make progress with diversity, equity and inclusion, we must focus less on documenting the problem and more on just stopping the transmission of it. In Bias Interrupted, Joan C. Williams shows how it's done, and reassuringly, how easy it is to get started. Leaders just need to use standard business systems and standard business tools-data and metrics-to interrupt the bias that is constantly transmitted through formal systems like performance appraisals and the informal systems that control access to opportunities, like mentoring programs.

Autorenporträt
Joan C. Williams is a Distinguished Professor of Law, Hastings Foundation Chair, and Director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. Described by the New York Times Magazine as having "something approaching rock star status" in her field, she has played a central role in debates over structural inequality for decades. Her 2014 cowritten book, What Works for Women at Work, was praised by the New York Times Book Review as "deftly combining sociological research with a more casual narrative style . . . [that] offers unabashedly straightforward advice in a how-to primer for ambitious women." Describing her 2017 book, White Working Class, the Washington Post noted that President Joe Biden carried a dog-eared copy "everywhere, scrawling notes on the pages and pulling out well-worn copies to share passages."
