Findings: Differential Visibility of Intersectional Discriminations
摘要
This chapter describes the findings of the project. It uses a feminist disability studies perspective to comprehend employment experiences of identity-based discriminations and how gendered workplace norms played a part in silencing Black women living with the sickle cell condition. This chapter explains how intersectionalities of identities become implicated in: (1) pregnancy, maternity and caring penalties; (2) visible racisms; (3) gendering access to the labour market and workplace norms; and (4) invisible anticipatory actions to be able to stay well and in employment. In order to understand why women could not always articulate and make visible these intersectional discriminations, ableism becomes a foundational concept to understand in employment settings.
