SUMMARY:IRLE Director Speaker Series: Front of the House\, Back of the House
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 16th\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m\nZoom Webinar \n\nTwo unequal worlds of work exist within the upscale restaurant scene of Los Angeles. White\, college-educated servers operate in the front of the house—also known as the public areas of the restaurant—while Latino immigrants toil in the back of the house and out of customer view. \nIn Front of the House\, Back of the House\, Eli Revelle Yano Wilson shows us what keeps these workers apart\, exploring race\, class\, and gender inequalities in the food service industry. \nDrawing on research at three different high-end restaurants in Los Angeles\, Wilson highlights why these inequalities persist in the twenty-first century\, pointing to discriminatory hiring and supervisory practices that ultimately grant educated whites access to the most desirable positions. Additionally\, he shows us how workers navigate these inequalities under the same roof\, making sense of their jobs\, their identities\, and each other in a world that reinforces their separateness. \nFront of the House\, Back of the House takes us behind the scenes of the food service industry\, providing a window into the unequal lives of white and Latino restaurant workers. \nEli Revelle Yano Wilson is assistant professor of sociology at the University of New Mexico. His research explores how race\, work\, and inequality intersect in the new economy. His first book\, Front of the House\, Back of the House (NYU Press)\, was named an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine in 2021. Dr. Wilson is currently finishing a new book that examines the racialized and classed work careers and identities among U.S. craft beer workers. \n
