"Actually doing something about it" is easier said than done.
I don't think that 1% of the effort of a few studies would get you very far at all-- you would already exceed that by basically sending the whole staff (not just the people doing the studies, but the whole university) to a (mandatory) one-afternoon-awareness-raising event, and even without trying to ridicule the concept, that does not sound like it would achieve ANYTHING...
We're probably best off with the Max-Planck approach of advancing non-discrimination one funeral at a time...
- bell-cot 4y agoIf you believe many of the studies - just swapping male-sounding and female-sounding applicant names on resumes and papers submitted for publication would do a great deal of good. The Max-Planck approach does not actually work WRT human sexism. (Yes, know that awareness-raising events are only useful for wasting staff's time while covering management's *ss.)
