ABSTRACT
When we first considered editing this volume on workplace discrimination, we had reservations because employment discrimination has been written about extensively in the social sciences. We wondered about what new thinking could be added-how could this volume move the frontier of employment discrimination research forward? How could this book distinguish itself from the myriad of other books on the topic? After some initial research, we concluded that such a volume was indeed needed to bring together a substantial, but disparate body of literature and to offer authors who have written extensively on the topic a forum for suggesting the next steps in workplace discrimination research. It is to these ends, integrating a great body of literature based on different theory and methodology and moving research in this area forward, that we hope this volume expands the frontier of workplace discrimination research.
