Indeed. In the FAQ I am planning to use the research articles to
establish that merely knowing someone's name creates a possibility of
subconscious bias, and then point out that we actually know a lot more
than that about each other.
My mail handler inserting "On 5/22/2019 1:13 AM, Naomi Slater wrote:"
tags me as someone who usually e-mails in English, from a locale that
uses the American month/day/year convention.
Beyond that, we don't just have formal, carefully checked, writing, such
as a resume. Our impressions of people can be influenced by how they
write English when they are tired, or stressed, or trying to influence
people, or even angry.

I think this avenue of research is good. and I don't want to detract from
it. but I figured I should mention that written speech and interaction
carries a lot of information that lends itself to unconscious bias too
e.g., command of English, dialect, register, tone, mitigated speech (i.e.
directness), aggression, confidence, politeness, verbosity, gendered and
racialized speech, discussion styles, etc, etc. I'm sure there's more!

Thanks for the links. The key point I need to document is that the
information available through our e-mail channels is quite sufficient
for there to be unconscious bias.

Hi,
BTW the conclusions may not be what you expect:
"Our results show that women’s pull requests tend to be accepted more
often than men’s, yet women’s acceptance rates are higher only when they
are not identifiable as women. In the context of existing theories of
gender in the workplace, plausible explanations include the presence of
gender bias in open source, survivorship and self-selection bias, and women
being held to higher performance standards.”
But there's a lot more detail in there as well. One on teh links lead me
to this:
https://rework.withgoogle.com/guides/?subject=5664248772427776
Which include this workshop on unconscious bias
https://rework.withgoogle.com/guides/unbiasing-raise-awareness/steps/introduction/
And tools to run your own workshop.
Thanks,
Justin
