Women Speak Up In College Classes Less Often
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/4Gsr9PkXWaE
Despite a predominance of women in college, men tend to monopolize classroom discussions 60% more often than women. Dartmouth sociologists analyzed 95 hours of classes covering a broad range of subject matter, and they recently published their findings in the journal Gender & Society.
Despite the fact that 55% of the classes had more women than men and were taught by women, men were 3 times more likely to speak out without raising their hands and were more likely to monopolize the conversations.
The investigators, both women, are concerned that a so-called “chilly climate” for women continues dominate the college academic scene. They encourage female students speak up and be heard.
