Series 2, Episode 6 - How can organisations better support transgender people in the workplace? With Professor Thekla Morgenroth, Purdue University

While in the Western world, gender has traditionally been viewed as binary and as following directly from biological sex, in recent years these views have started to change. Gender is now seen, at least by some, as less binary and more independent of sex. These changes are reflected in societal developments such as the growing support for transgender individuals and in new policies and practices, such as unisex bathrooms and, in some countries, the legal recognition of a third gender.To explore these questions further and to gain a better understanding of transgender issues we were joined on the Brain for Business podcast by Professor Thekla Morgenroth.Thekla Morgenroth is Assistant Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University. Their research examines why and how people maintain social categories and hierarchies with a particular focus on the gender/sex binary and its consequences for women and members of the LGBTQ+ community.Some of Thekla’s current projects include research on opposition to policies and practices that challenge the gender/sex binary, the psychology of different feminist ideologies, the link between gender nonconformity and identity denial, and support for and opposition to the decriminalization of sex work.Thekla can be followed on Twitter (@TheMorgenroth) and you can find out more about Thekla’s research projects here: https://tmorgenr.wixsite.com/unicornlab?ga=2.204537744.1297948127.1668455134-498954844.1666261862
