Discrimination - Science topic

An interdisciplinary group on discrimination. Contributing fields include but are not limited to (labor) economics, psychology, social psychology, and sociology. Definitions of discrimination differ between and within these fields. Usually, definitions of discrimination involve some sort of interpersonal treatment that is based on group membership rather than on individual characteristics. Usually, we study forms of discrimination that are considered unfair in a certain context (e.g. discriminating on the basis of race is considered unfair in education). This group is the place to discuss every question related to discrimination, such as: Which forms of discrimination should we distinguish? Which theories help us understand discriminatory behavior? Which methods are suited for studying discrimination? How to interpret particular findings?
