    • Implicit Bias and Behaviour
      • Spear 1884
        • 1. Teachers were given identical essays
        • 2. They awarded higher marks to work that had male names on the essays
      • Bradley (1993)
        • Blind-marking procedure was introduced
        • Women students' marks went up
      • Moss-Racusin et al 2012
        • 1. In a randomised double-blind study, lecturers rated materials submitted as a part of application for post-graduate studies

    • Remedies?
      • The practice of anonymising can reduce effects of implicit bias
        • Goldin and Rouse, 1997
          • When auditions were anonymised, percentage of women in major symphony orchestras went up from less than 5% in 1970 to 25% in 1990s
        • Can we anonymise to eliminate the effects of implicit bias?
        • Should we always anonymise?
          • Can you think of situations where anonymisation is impossible, very difficult, or otherwise problematic?
            • Face to face interviews?
