By Way of Introduction

Abstract

In this article, readers are introduced to the special JSI issue on gender stereotyping, sexual harassment, and the law via examination of a hypothetical yet infamous expert witness, Professor Fiske Borgida. Fiske Borgida survives the rigors of courtroom testimony and manages to educate the court about (1) the definition and measurement of sexual harassment, (2) the intrapersonal and interpersonal forces contributing to harassment, (3) individual and organizational reactions to harassment, and (4) utilization of research on gender stereotyping and sexual harassment by the courts. The presiding judge qualifies Fiske Borgida as an expert but then adjourns the proceeding in order to carefully read the contents of the special issue.
