Calling for action on gender bias in Academia, Tim Coulson - TopicsExpress



          

Calling for action on gender bias in Academia, Tim Coulson suggests the time has come for mandates that positively discriminate based on gender. I agree that something needs to be done, but I think we must be careful about the scale we measure bias at. Department is too small, global is too large. Elsewhere in EU in both fellowships and faculty appointments positive gender discrimination is allowed is candidates are otherwise equal. That might be a place to start. I have concerns on only focussing on the candidate gender, if we do this then is it not also fair to look at other traits, I.e. Partners, kids?
