Biology at Work: Rethinking Sexual Equality
Browne (law, Wayne State U.) is a specialist in employment discrimination law who tackles the controversies of the glass ceiling, the gender gap in pay, sexual harassment, and occupational segregation. Drawing on theories and findings from the field of evolutionary biology, he advocates acknowledgment of biological differences between men and women and asserts that these differences must be considered in workplace policy. He feels that gender-blind policies, or those designed to enhance women's opportunities, are generally unfeasible, unfair, and unreasonable in light of what some evolutionary biologists might say.
