Sure, the concept exists but you'll be hard-pressed to point to instances of it existing currently... Overcoming historical biases doesn't happen just by deciding to be a meritocracy.
- nisuni 8y agoTwo candidates for a position in the academia are not evaluated in terms of historical bias, they are evaluated looking at their CV, track record, publications, etc... That’s meritocracy. And there’s no place for this “historical biases” in the decision making process in the academia. At least not in science.
