Understanding Under-Recognition

Under-recognition is a phenomenon where certain individuals and their contributions are systematically overlooked or underappreciated in professional settings, despite having the requisite qualifications. This concept was coined by Chloe Nguangu, who emphasizes the need to reframe discussions around this issue from being about merely being underrepresented to being under-recognized. Under-recognition often manifests in various forms, such as being passed over for promotions or failing to receive acknowledgment for successful projects. By addressing under-recognition directly, professionals can better understand the challenges they face and the systemic factors that contribute to their marginalization in the workplace.
