Neurodiversity Works--Literally: A Scoping Review of Neurodivergence in the Workplace
In recent years, the importance of utilizing inclusive practices in the workplace has become much more widely-known, especially in regards to supporting neurodivergent employees. The systemic barriers and challenges faced by neurodivergent job-seekers and employees mean this population is often limited in their employment prospects, in turn depriving human resources professionals and their organizations of the chance to hire and benefit from diverse talent. As neurodivergent individuals exist within the workforce and general public, it is critical that organizations properly accommodate their needs in order to ensure optimal inclusivity, business efficiency, and productivity. This scoping review of the literature on neurodivergence in the workplace identifies common themes and gaps in knowledge, and suggests opportunities for future research. Specifically, five dominant themes were uncovered: continued barriers to employment, positive and negative consequences associated with the disclosure of neurodivergent conditions, insufficient employer education, inadequate support structures, and a lack of collaborative decision-making. Findings highlight the need for additional research focused on neurodivergent individuals’ diverse identities, career progression, and the organizational leadership opportunities and practices that shape their workplace experiences.

The Bonds of Family: A Case Study on Interconnectedness in the Prison-Industrial Complex
Beginning in the 1960s, a rightward shift in politics and “War on Drugs” policies propelled the United States toward mass incarceration. The result was a prison population of around 2 million people, in which minority groups have been disproportionately imprisoned. While historians and legal scholars have examined the policies and legal structures behind mass incarceration, oral historians working in the tradition of social history emphasize the importance of narratives of those most impacted yet traditionally neglected. This paper specifically examines the relatively unstudied Columbia University's 2019 Mass Incarceration oral history collection, which explores the interconnected perspectives of one family’s experience within the prison-industrial complex. This archive uncovers a perplexing paradox: the carceral system can provide a community with economic stability via employment, but this economic security relies on the incarceration of their community, even relatives. Furthermore, previous discussions have focused on black and white males, but this research engages with black women, AIDS patients, and prisoner activists
