All, I am a co-PI on the University of Arizona NSF ADVANCE Award based on the role of unconscious bias in the academic STEM world. We've done a lot with search committee training, training for department heads, workshops, bringing women scientists to campus, etc. There's lots of research results, as well as other useful information, at our website: http://www.advance.arizona.edu/ and especially under the resources at: http://www.advance.arizona.edu/resources.cfm I'm happy to provide other information if anyone is interested. Thanks, Randy ******************** Randall M.

I was aware of the studies that look at differences in how people treat CVs in relation to perceived gender and ethnicity of applicants, but I was unaware that letters of recommendation could be biased! And, since when is collaboration a bad thing?!?!? http://www.insidehighered.com/layout/set/popup/news/2010/11/10/letters Julie Libarkin Associate Professor, Director - Geocognition Research Lab Michigan State University 206 Natural Science East Lansing, MI 48824 Phone: 517-355-8369 https://www.msu.edu/~libarkin Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Geoscience Education Affiliations: Department of Geological Sciences, Division of Science and Mathematics Education, Cognitive Science Program, Center for Research on College Science Teaching and Learning
