Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy Symposium on Makeup Identity Performance and Discrimination

The symposium at Duke Law School will explore a rapidly developing area of employment law: workplace appearance standards. Structured as a day-long series of roundtable discussions, the symposium will bring together top legal and business experts in such areas as employment discrimination, workplace harassment, sexual orientation, race, and organizational behavior to discuss the apparent conflict between some recent court decisions that have condemned stereotyping in the workplace and others that have upheld appearance requirements, among other issues.
