Journal Features Blackstone Women-in-Power Research
The Human Resources Journal has published an article about research by University of Maine professor and Department of Sociology chair Amy Blackstone and colleagues about sexual harassment of women in supervisory positions. The researchers found that female supervisors faced workplace harassment 138 percent more than others and experienced it 78 percent more often than non-supervisors. Occurrences were considered intentionally demeaning and a way to “keep women in their place,” according to Blackstone.
