Hello #AcademicMastodon @academicchatter ! I am part of a jury that selects students for our master program (application review + interviews). What are your tips for reducing #genderbias and all forms of #discriminations to a minimum? (@jesswade maybe?)

@leovarnet @academicchatter @jesswade I’d focus on the interviews— I feel this is where a lot of unintentional bias and subjectivity creeps in to selection processes. In particular, the different conversational styles and mores of women, neurodivergents, immigrants and those from different cultural backgrounds may be disadvantaged when they are judged as less confident/engaged/forthright/knowledgeable or just not “clicking” with the prevailing culture.
