What’s in a name? Bias against female and minority applicants

I don't get why articles like this are even a thing any more. There is so much evidence of structural institutional, unconscious... all of the ways of bias and discrimination and privileging that it is overwhelming... yet so many academics are like #everyoneotherthanmeislikethis No, Dr George McThingy, you're like this too. Everyone is. *That's the frakkin' point!* Now go institute blind applications and marking, you douche.

Dear Sahra, I sympathise, but of course we need to continue having articles like this for so long as this remains a problem. Or, to be more precise: we need to continue hammering home that this is a problem but alongside a greater emphasis, more research, on what to do about it. This study's authors apparently suggest "getting committees with diverse memberships to decide on applications" and "training for staff to address bias"; I suspect both of these would help, but it would be good to have (lots of) evidence, for these and other possible ways of dealing with the problem.

Many are serious about this issue, they only want to be seen as serious. Box ticking idiots have subverted the efforts to tackle inequalities in HE and in the process alineated a lot of people.
