Is There an Unintended Gender Bias in a Meritocratic Academic Culture?
A Panel Discussion with Emilio Castilla (MIT) and Distinguished UCSD Faculty

Professor Castilla, a sociologist of organizations and race and gender inequality, has found that the pursuit of meritocracy can mask a gender bias in the private sector. In this panel discussion, distinguished UCSD faculty will debate if and how these findings apply to a research university like UCSD and, if so, what can be done to create change.

Monday, April 18th
2:00-3:30 p.m.
Thurgood Marshall Room
Price Center, 2nd Floor West
Reception to follow discussion.

Sponsors: Center for Research on Gender in the Professions, Chancellor's Advisory Committee on the Status of Women, and Women in Science & Engineering (WISE).
