Gender Issues in the Workplace: When “good people” harass. Why they do it and why we let them.

Dr. Peggy Stockdale is the director of the Women in Work (WoW) Laboratory at IUPUI. Dr. Stockdale along with her team of researchers conduct and disseminate research on gender issues in the workplace. The main goal is to address and eliminate sexism in how women and men are treated in the workplace, schools, and other places. People have a right to be treated with dignity and respect. One of the research projects in the WoW Lab seeks to explain why “good people” are prone to sexual harassment, and why society tends to let these offenders off the hook.

-Why do we morally license ourselves and others to sexually harass?

Using research to make a positive impact in the world, Dr. Stockdale has helped numerous organizations develop or improve their policies on sexual harassment, eliminate the conditions that allow harassment to occur, and create effective procedures to address sexual harassment investigations.

Dr. Stockdale’s translation of research into understanding the causes of sexual harassment and other forms of sexism/discrimination in order to build effective tools and processes to address and eliminate the issues is another excellent example of how IUPUI’s faculty members are TRANSLATING their RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE.

    Evaluation of a Comprehensive Tobacco Cessation Curriculum for Dental Hygiene Programs
    (Journal of Dental Education, 2010-05-01) Davis, Joan M.; Stockdale, Margaret S.; Cropper, M.
    Dental health care providers continue to offer inconsistent and limited tobacco use cessation (TUC) interventions even though smoking‐related morbidity and mortality continue to be a substantial health concern. Our purpose was to conduct a comprehensive, three‐year (2003–06) TUC curriculum evaluation that included assessment of existing TUC education offered; dental hygiene educators’ readiness to incorporate TUC education into the curriculum; and development of a pre‐test/post‐test assessment instrument and faculty development program. This curriculum study was carried out alongside a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of a peer‐reviewed tobacco curriculum (Tobacco Free! Curriculum). Faculty members (baseline n=97; third‐year n=42) from the twelve dental hygiene associate degree programs in Illinois participated in the study, which included a pre‐treatment survey, six hours of on‐site TUC curriculum training, and a post‐treatment survey to determine the attitudes, perceived barriers, and current practices in tobacco education. Results showed an average increase of eighty‐five minutes spent on tobacco education in the dental hygiene curriculum, a large positive increase in the percentage of faculty members who formally assessed the use of 5As and 5Rs (21 percent to 88 percent), and a dramatic increase (+100) in the percentage of faculty members who taught or included most of the thirteen TUC content areas following the introduction of the curriculum and training program.
