The ESRC 'Fairness At Work' Seminar Series was hosted by the University of Brighton Business School with the Institute for Employment Studies and the University of Manchester, together with the EU workcare synergies project (http://workcaresynergies.eu/).
The aim the seminar was to examine the concept of intersectionality in the management of equality and diversity, to understand how this concept has been institutionalised and translated into legislation and policy, and to explore the consequences of these recent legislative changes.
