New paper forthcoming at The Journal of Ethics. @vikipedersen.bsky.social and I ask: Is self-discrimination disrespectful?
We test whether people think it is okay for employers to select candidates partly based on how the employers think costumers will react to the candidate’s appearance. The study shows discrepancies between the views of laypeople and Andrew Mason’s theory of the legitimacy of reaction qualifications.
Our paper “Reaction qualifications in the eyes of the people: An experimental-philosophical study based on US survey data” has been published in Theoria. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... Co-authored with Didde B. Andersen, Søren F. Midtgaard and Kim M. Sønderskov

Does your office thermostat discriminate? Maybe not. But rules decreasing office temperatures might. Because they affect men and women differently. Or so Viki Pedersen and I argue in Bioethics. #discrimination #Bioethics
