Gender and cultural bias exists against teachers at university level, study shows

ACEMS Associate Investigator Yanan Fan (UNSW) is the lead author in a major new study looking into gender and cultural bias at the university level. Among other things, it shows that in Business and Science, a male teacher from an English-speaking background was more than twice as likely to get a higher score on a student evaluation than a female teacher from a non-English speaking background. For more on this, the team also put together a story for The Conversation.

In late 2018, as part of the ACEMS podcast series, The Random Sample, Yanan talked with one of the other authors in this study: Prof Emma Johnston, Dean of Science at UNSW, and President of Science & Technology in Australia. Their conversation is about 31 minutes into the podcast, and in the second half of the interview, they talk about bias and women in STEM.
