“Disability, Gender and Race: Does Educational Attainment Reduce Earning Disparity for All or Just Some?”

While interest in research on persons with disabilities has grown steadily, these individuals continue to encounter workplace discrimination and remain marginalized and understudied. We draw on human capital and discrimination theories to propose and test hypotheses on the effects of educational attainment on earnings (in)equality for persons with disabilities and the moderating influence of gender and race using 885,950 records, including 40,438 persons with disabilities from the American Community Survey 2015. Consistent with human capital theory, we find that persons with disabilities benefit from greater educational attainment, yet consistent with disability discrimination theories, we find evidence that they are less likely to convert educational gains for master’s and higher degrees into earning gains, and consistent with theories on multiple sources of discrimination, we find that women with disabilities may be doubly disadvantaged. These results, however, are mixed and complex. Considering the importance of harnessing diverse talent in organizations, we outline implications for research and practice toward reducing workplace discrimination.

“Disability Severity, Professional Isolation Perceptions, and Career Outcomes: When Does Leader-Member Exchange Quality Matter?”

Employees with disability-related communication impairment often experience isolation from professional connections which can negatively affect their careers. Management research suggests that having lower quality leader relationships can be an obstacle to the development of professional connections for employees with disabilities. However, in this paper we suggest that lower quality LMX relationships may not be a uniform hurdle for the professional isolation of employees with disability-related communication impairment. Drawing on psychological disengagement theory, we predict that employees with more severe, rather than less severe, communication impairment develop resilience to challenges in lower quality LMX relationships by psychologically disengaging from professional connections and, in turn, bear fewer negative consequences of professional isolation on career outcomes. In two studies of deaf and hard of hearing employees, we find that in lower quality LMX relationships employees with more severe communication impairment perceive being less isolated than employees with less severe communication impairment, and, in turn, report better career outcomes. Overall, our findings suggest that employees with more severe communication impairment may be more effective in managing challenges to their perceived professional isolation and career outcomes when in lower quality LMX relationships.

“Disease Risk Estimation by Combining Case-Control Data with Aggregated Information on the Population at Risk”

We propose a novel statistical framework by supplementing case-control data with summary statistics on the population at risk for a subset of risk factors. Our approach is to first form two unbiased estimating equations, one based on the case-control data and the other on both the case data and the summary statistics, and then optimally combine them to derive another estimating equation to be used for the estimation. The proposed method is computationally simple and more efficient than standard approaches based on case-control data alone. We also establish asymptotic properties of the resulting estimator, and investigate its finite-sample performance through simulation. As a substantive application, we apply the proposed method to investigate risk factors for endometrial cancer, by using data from a recently completed population-based case-control study and summary statistics from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, the Population Estimates Program of the US Census Bureau, and the Connecticut Department of Transportation.

“Diseño para la Transición: Entretejiendo saberes por medio de la conversación”

El Diseño para las Transiciones tiene el potencial teórico y práctico para transformar la disciplina del diseño hacia una nueva ética de práctica. Como marco emergente,reconoce que lo social, económico y ecológico están entrelazados y busca diseñar resultados contextuales, sistémicos, a largo plazo y plurales. Sin embargo, sin una pluralidaden las formas de difusión del conocimiento, más allá de la palabra escrita en inglés, losintentos de diseñar para transiciones hacia futuros más equitativos quedan atrapados dentro de una esfera epistemológica estrecha. Las autoras de este artículo ofrecen un caso deestudio de diseño para las transiciones a través del audio tapiz podcast bilingüe español/inglés Design in Transition/Diseño en Transición. Las y los diseñadores y aquellos quetrabajan en la transdisciplinariedad del diseño pueden aprender no solo del conocimientooral, bilingüe, entrelazado en cada episodio del podcast, sino también del arreglo organizativo emergente mediante el cual colabora el equipo de producción. Ofrecemos a las ylos lectores una descripción de las propiedades adaptativas y los componentes operativosdel podcast mientras describ
