Dr. McCrate's lecture will cover the economics and psychology of imperfect information in labor markets. She will consider characteristics such as "commitment," "work ethic," "motivation," and "drive" that are important to employers, hard to evaluate, and strongly linked to stereotypes, placing the problem in the historical context of American race and gender relations.
