Episode 1: Who's in? Who's out?

Welcome to Being at Work, the podcast that explores ideas around diversity, equity and inclusion through the lens of anthropology. In this first episode, Jasmine explores the idea of in-groups and out-groups - you'll already be familiar with this as "us" and "them" - and how this affects the workplace. There are lots of big ideas here: why "minority" and "majority" are confusing terms, power, and how these things impact us at work and in our society.
