Does this study break out hiring for top-20ish departments in, say, theoretical physics? I could certainly envisage women being favoured in general but still disadvantaged when it comes to prestige institutions, particularly if the reports that hiring for those best positions comes down to "he's better than Smith, but not as good as Jones" assessments passed along the social grapevine are true.
- pervycreeper 12y agoStraight from the abstract: >National randomized experiments and validation studies were conducted on 873 tenure-track faculty (439 male, 434 female) from biology, engineering, economics, and psychology at 371 universities/colleges from 50 US states and the District of Columbia.
- leoc 12y agoYes, I had read that. What I asked was whether the survey provided a breakout for the (kinds of) subgroup I specified.
- pervycreeper 12y agoSomewhat. They found that male economists lacked that bias. There wouldn't be enough info to make conclusions about top-20 physics depts specifically.
