| Description: | Women are often alienated in academic environments. This is due to low female faculty representation, a male-biased curriculum and subtle sexism from faculty. This website looks at what groups of women are particularly affected by this ?chilly climate? and assesses the classroom environments that cause this atmosphere. The points made could be good eye-openers for college teachers that are concerned with gender equity in the classroom. Keywords: gender equity |
