- Dancy and Hodari, 2022: How well-intentioned white male physicists maintain ignorance of inequity and justify inaction preprint “6 recommendations: 1. Make the target of change people of privilege. 2. Teach people of privilege about common discourse moves that make them complicit in oppression. 3. Hold people of privilege accountable for their ignorance. 4. Make equity work the work of white men. 5. Collect, and make public, data measuring the extent of inequity in local environments. 6. Explicitly teach skills associated with confronting oppression. ”

Female researchers more often value and engage in research mainly aimed at contributing to societal progress, which has more abstract views (usage).”

- Profeta, Intereconomics, 2017: Gender Equality in Decision-Making Positions: The Efficiency Gains. “women in decision-making positions may contribute to the definition of a new agenda for the organisation, including items which are typically neglected by men. For companies this can include a shift towards less risky decisions, or towards sustainability and environmental policies with longer time horizons. For policy-makers this can mean more investment in education and social needs.”
- Rothchild, 2014, Gender bias. Nice introduction about what gender bias means (the other parts of the paper are USA-centered). “When we use the term gender, we mean socially constructed expectations and roles for women and men, for girls and boys. Specifically, girls and women are expected to demonstrate feminine behavior, and boys and men are expected to act masculine. […] The narrow benefits of gender bias for some are outweighed by much broader losses for all (Neubeck & Glasberg 2005). And if gender roles and expectations constrain both girls and boys and both women and men, it can be said that gender bias limits the overall development of contemporary societies. ”
