The typical image of a successful negotiator is someone who is competent, confident, and in control. This characteristic does not necessarily apply to people with disabilities. The two researchers wanted to understand whether people with disabilities are more stigmatized in intense jobs, such as potentially controversial price-based negotiations. If so, is this bias more pronounced for women and people with invisible disabilities? We asked 2,000 people to conduct an online experiment in which they recorded a negotiation involving an employee named “Alex.” They were read aloud and evaluated for honesty and competency. In addition to representing Alex as male or…

I don’t really care about profiteering “isms”, but either way we need to…

According to VOA, the US is doing “soul searching” about its mission in the Sahel region of Africa — and largely finding the same answers. Maj. General Ekman, who oversaw the recent US withdrawal from Niger which was completed in September, said Niger’s expulsion of US forces will not change the American mission. “How we will pursue [those objectives], either together or apart, as a consequence of the withdrawal remains to be seen, but we wanted to make sure we kept all options on the table,” he said. Before the government overthrows in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, the US…
