We all have biases – implicit<\/em> and explicit<\/em>. But not all of us recognize our presumptions and how they impact our actions, including those related to hiring and evaluating our academic colleagues.<\/p>\n

Is it OK to describe female colleagues as enthusiastic<\/em><\/strong> and energetic<\/em><\/strong> in peer review letters, while using terms such as highly effective<\/em><\/strong> or\u00a0skilled<\/em><\/strong> when referring to male faculty? Many of us have used these or similar words without considering the subtle message they send.<\/p>\n

We all seek to reduce biases, particularly in the academic arena where achieving faculty diversity is a priority. Begin by learning to recognize unconscious attitudes that prevent true progress toward diversity goals.<\/p>\n

Taking the Gender and Leadership Implicit Association Test (IAT)<\/a><\/strong> linked here is an essential first step in eliminating unintentional biases that negatively impact our actions.<\/p>\n
