This document summarizes a talk given by Ian Gent about gender balance and sexism in computer science. The talk uses examples like an ambiguous story about "the computer scientist and the cleaner" to show inherent biases people have in associating certain roles with gender. It discusses the lack of gender balance among computer science faculty and leaders historically at the University of St Andrews. The talk urges the audience to make computer science a welcoming place for women by not being sexist, using sexist language, or dismissing concerns about sexism. It promotes the idea of men being allies for gender equality.
The computer scientist and the cleaner is a parable about gender preconceptions.
These slides are a draft talk to first year students on gender balance and sexism in Computer Science.

Introduction to Computer , types of computer,classification of computer What ...Israr Ahmed
The document presents information about computers including their introduction, types, classifications, characteristics, capabilities, and limitations. It discusses mainframe computers, mini computers, microcomputers, and supercomputers. The key points are that computers are programmable machines that can execute lists of instructions, have high processing speeds and storage capabilities, and can perform complex calculations and automate tasks. However, computers still have limitations and cannot match all human abilities.
The document summarizes the history and modern uses of computers. It describes how the first calculating machine was invented in 1822 by Charles Babbage to perform calculations faster than humans. Today, computers are ubiquitous and used widely in industry, education, entertainment, travel, government, medicine, offices, and business as they are more efficient than humans. Computers now control many aspects of modern life and serve people in their daily activities and work. The document also outlines common computer parts like the central processing unit, display, keyboard, mouse, and hard disk drive, as well as software.
The Computer Scientist and the Cleaner v4turingfan
This document summarizes a talk given by Ian Gent about gender balance in computer science. It discusses how unconscious biases can negatively impact women in the field. Through examples and images, it illustrates common stereotypes associated with gender roles. It also shares statistics demonstrating the lack of gender diversity among computer science faculty and professors. Finally, it provides recommendations for creating a more inclusive environment, such as avoiding biased language and disrespecting others. The overall message is that computer science would benefit from embracing people from all backgrounds.
This document is a transcript of a talk given by Ian Gent about gender balance and inclusiveness in computer science. The talk discusses how subtle biases can negatively impact women in the field. It describes an experiment that found science faculty judged identical resumes more positively when the applicant was male rather than female. The talk advocates for improving gender balance in computer science because it is fair and would make the field better by drawing from the talents of all people. It notes the lack of women historically in faculty roles at the University of St Andrews and argues that subtle biases still present a problem for gender equality in science today.

The document advocates for increasing gender diversity in computing, noting that subtle biases still exist today and excluding women deprives the field of valuable talent. It uses an analogy of difficulty settings in games to illustrate how gender and racial biases can compound, making success harder for women and minorities.
Women in Science 2015: The Computer Scientist and the Cleanerturingfan
If I tell you a story about a heterosexual couple who are a computer scientist and a cleaner, would you have any preconceptions as to which was the man and which was the woman? You might not, but Google image searches show that the internet does.
Prof Ian Gent will use this as a parable about the vital problem of gender imbalance and stereotyping in Computer Science, perhaps the most important problem for the field. Ian will also discuss the Petrie Multiplier, a graphic illustration of how gender imbalance can dramatically affect the minority, even when the majority doesn't behave any worse.
Talk given at the Dundee Women in Science Festival, 18 March 2015
This document discusses cross-cultural differences in perceptions of sexual harassment. It presents results from surveys and interviews with US students and international teaching assistants (ITAs) on their interpretations of various scenarios involving potential sexually inappropriate behaviors between teachers and students. The findings revealed gender and cultural differences, with ITAs sometimes finding behaviors appropriate that US students strongly felt were inappropriate. This highlights how cultural norms influence understandings of appropriate interactions and the potential for cross-cultural misunderstandings.

The three documents discuss the nature of research. The first quote from Einstein states that if the process was fully known, it would not be called research. The second from Hurston describes research as "formalized curiosity" involving purposeful investigation. The third from Von Braun asserts that researching what is unknown is what defines research. Overall, the documents suggest that exploring the unknown is at the core of what constitutes research.
This document contains instructions for students on how to take an essay exam for an anthropology course. It provides tips such as reading the entire question, answering each part fully with specific examples, using a framework of general statements supported by evidence and analysis, and citing all sources using the appropriate style. Students are advised to avoid vague topic sentences and to provide enough material to demonstrate thoroughness rather than brevity. They are also warned against plagiarism.
Session 2 healthy, positive social normssu-training
This document provides information about bystander intervention and social norms. It discusses how social norms are constructed and influence behavior, using examples like "lad culture". Unacceptable behaviors like harassment and sexual assault are shown to exist on a spectrum, and bystander intervention can help shift the norm towards healthy behaviors. The document advocates consistently reinforcing that harmful behaviors are unacceptable in order to change social perceptions and discourage such actions. Role plays demonstrate intervening when witnessing inappropriate language or attitudes. The goal is to describe how social norms impact society and how positive intervention can change norms and prevent problematic behaviors.
Updated: My experience with tackling ongoing barriers faced by Women in STEM ...Dawn Bazely
Dawn Bazely discusses her experience advocating for women in STEM fields over several decades. She notes that while policies in the 1970s-90s aimed to increase the number of women in STEM, they failed to shift cultural norms due to unconscious biases. Recent research on implicit biases and social media movements like #MeToo have led to a greater awareness of barriers like harassment. Bazely emphasizes the importance of addressing retention, not just the pipeline, and highlights the role of social media in connecting advocates and applying pressure for policy changes to promote diversity and inclusion.
Millennials can smell marketing-speak a mile away. So why does higher ed still write things like this?
"[Insert school here] delivers an exemplary learning experience that engages the best and brightest people, challenging them to meet ever-higher standards in the classroom and beyond."
"Show, Don't Tell" is a communication tactic that presents sensory details and substantive facts and lets people come to their own conclusions. It's easy to tell people what you want them to think, but when you give them the freedom to reach their own conclusions, they'll believe them.
In "Secrets of Show Don't Tell," David Poteet (President, NewCity) outlines the essentials of this communication tool and shows you colleges and universities that are doing it well.
My experience with tackling ongoing barriers faced by Women in STEM in CanadaDawn Bazely
Talk for Women Studies, Visva Bharati University, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India. March 17, 2018.
I will update this to reflect the nasty article published by Science Magazine (AAAS) containing an attack on a young woman who is a PhD student and who also does a lot of innovative science outreach and engagement.
This document summarizes a group project aimed at raising awareness of gender inequality in the classroom. The group created a blog where they posted questions, articles, and surveys about experiences with discrimination. Based on the survey results, most participants said they had observed more inequality since following the blog and wanted equality for all. The group concluded the blog was effective but could be improved by expanding its reach, posting more frequently, and operating for a longer period.
Fitting in CS when the stereotypes don't fit with Colleen LewisDatabricks
This document discusses strategies for making computer science more inclusive and addressing stereotypes. It summarizes views from several experts and provides recommendations such as splitting introductory courses based on experience to better serve beginners, recognizing that learning takes time and effort, learning about and addressing unconscious bias, building community among students, and making computer science a required subject. The overall message is that small changes can help broaden participation and make the field more welcoming to those from different backgrounds.

All learning begins when our comfortable

— John Dewey, psychologist, educator
G
iven how pervasively p o liti
cal, cultural, educational, and
religious institutions are built
on a foundation of stereotypes
and binary assum ptions, it is
easy to understand why people
find the current reassessm ent
of all things gender disquieting and
disruptive. The consequences of this
upheaval can be found in all corners
of pre-K-12 schooling, from the first-
grade boy who wants to wear a dress to
school, to the middle school girl who
wants to play football, to genderqueer
high school students seeking affirma
tion and inclusion.
W hen I began working with inde
p e n d e n t schools on gender-related
issues 16 years ago, the goal was to
open educators’ hearts and minds, and
help them understand children and
adolescents who were diverse in terms
o f their gender and sexuality. At the
time, using the LGB (and reluctantly, T)
framework was the standard approach.
Even if teachers weren’t comfortable
saying the words lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender out loud, LGBT was a
recognizable acronym that organized
thinking and actions. Over the years,
however, this narrow framework has
perpetuated a focus on “gay kids” or stu
dents who are “different.” As a result,
we have m issed the broad impact of sex
ism, homophobia, and heteronormativ-
ity on all students, o f every age.
A R o b o tic s Tale
A fourth-grade teacher shared with

robotics class typically dom inate the

age the girls to get m ore involved, but
they are really reluctant,” he said. He
invited m e to visit and observe. After a
h alf hour, with the teacher’s blessing, I
stopped the class to share a three-m in
ute video m ontage with the students.
The video exposes Lego’s sexist, binary
approach to m arketing the salon, the
mall, and the Lego Friends beach party
to girls and the volcano heavy-lift heli
copter, deep-sea operations base, and
heavy-haul train set to boys. I read a
seven-year-old girl’s letter to Lego in
which she complains that boys get to

girls shop and don’t have jobs. W hen
these fourth-graders learned that Lego
did m ake a very cool set o f wom en
scientists a few years ago and then,
in spite of its enorm ous popularity,
discontinued the product, they grew
indignant. Fourth-graders care a lot
about fairness, and they saw Lego’s

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

8. What is this talk, really?
A short talk about gender balance and sexism in
computer science.

9. What is this talk, really?
These are my personal opinions, not based on School
or University policy
Not a part of CS1002 in any sense, just something I
think you should be exposed to

10. The Computer Scientist
and the Cleaner
• Let me tell you a story.
“The computer scientist and the cleaner had
a long and happy marriage. One of their few
arguments was when she forgot their
wedding anniversary. But their marriage was
strong and he forgave her.”

11. The Computer Scientist
and the Cleaner
“One of their few arguments was when she
forgot their wedding anniversary.”
• Let me ask you a question.
• Who forgot the anniversary?
• Was it the computer scientist or the
cleaner?

15. Who forgot the
anniversary?
“The computer scientist and the cleaner had
a long and happy marriage. One of their few
arguments was when she forgot their
wedding anniversary. But their marriage was
strong and he forgave her.”
• Look inside your brain
• Did you think the woman was the
cleaner?

16. A short history of
sexism in St Andrews
• The University is 600 years old, yet ...
• Its first female professor was a computer
scientist!
• Prof Ursula Martin MBE, now at QMUL
• Yes, a 600 year old University’s first female
professor hasn’t retired yet!
• For 579 years we didn’t have a female Prof
• Until 2004, the Rules of Golf for women were
made by a male only club in St Andrews
• For 595 years we didn’t have a female Principal
• Prof Louise Richardson

21. Let’s be clear...
• The University of St Andrews does not have
sexist hiring policies
• We have clear non-sexist hiring policies
• http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/edi/inclusiverec/
• The gender balance in St Andrews CS
• reflects general imbalance in the discipline
• and it’s a big problem
Monday, 7 October 13
23. Why the most important
problem?
Why should we have more women in CS?
I only know of two good reasons, but they
are overpoweringly good.
• It’s right
• Computer Science would be better
Monday, 7 October 13
24. But is it a problem now?
• In the past this was a problem
• And it still is
• An almost random example
• Science faculty’s subtle gender biases favor
male students
• Proceedings National Academy of
Science, USA, 2012
• http://www.pnas.org/content/early/
2012/09/14/1211286109
• The change from the past is that gender
biases are now subtle
In addition to determining whether faculty expressed a bias
against female students, we also sought to identify the processes
contributing to this bias. To do so, we investigated whether
faculty members’ perceptions of student competence would help
to explain why they would be less likely to hire a female (relative
to an identical male) student for a laboratory manager position.
Additionally, we examined the role of faculty members’ preex-
isting subtle bias against women. We reasoned that pervasive
cultural messages regarding women’s lack of competence in sci-
ence could lead faculty members to hold gender-biased attitudes
that might subtly affect their support for female (but not male)
science students. These generalized, subtly biased attitudes to-
ward women could impel faculty to judge equivalent students
differently as a function of their gender.
The present study sought to test for differences in faculty
perceptions and treatment of equally qualified men and women
pursuing careers in science and, if such a bias were discovered,
reveal its mechanisms and consequences within academic sci-
ence. We focused on hiring for a laboratory manager position as
the primary dependent variable of interest because it functions as
a professional launching pad for subsequent opportunities. As
secondary measures, which are related to hiring, we assessed: (i)
perceived student competence; (ii) salary offers, which reflect
the extent to which a student is valued for these competitive
positions; and (iii) the extent to which the student was viewed as
deserving of faculty mentoring.
Our hypotheses were that: Science faculty’s perceptions and
treatment of students would reveal a gender bias favoring male
students in perceptions of competence and hireability, salary
conferral, and willingness to mentor (hypothesis A); Faculty gen-
der would not influence this gender bias (hypothesis B); Hiring
These results support hypothesis A.
In support of hypothesis B, faculty gender did not affect bias
(Table 1). Tests of simple effects (all d < 0.33) indicated that
female faculty participants did not rate the female student as
more competent [t(62) = 0.06, P = 0.95] or hireable [t(62) = 0.41,
P = 0.69] than did male faculty. Female faculty also did not
offer more mentoring [t(62) = 0.29, P = 0.77] or a higher salary
[t(61) = 1.14, P = 0.26] to the female student than did their male

(collapsed across faculty gender). All student gender differences are significant
(P < 0.001). Scales range from 1 to 7, with higher numbers reflecting a greater
extent of each variable. Error bars represent SEs. nmale student condition = 63,
nfemale student condition = 64.

• Male students were
ranked higher in
everything
• The only difference
between the male and
female students was the
names on CVs

25. The lowest difficulty
setting there is
John Scalzi, http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/05/15/straight-white-
male-the-lowest-difficulty-setting-there-is/
• It’s really hard for straight white men to
understand the problem
• sadly it’s really easy for women to
• John Scalzi came up with a brilliant analogy
• Being a straight white male is the lowest
difficulty setting there is in the game of life
“You can lose playing on the lowest difficulty
setting.The lowest difficulty setting is still the
easiest setting to win on.The player who
plays on the “Gay Minority Female” setting?
Hardcore.”

26. What can we do?
• We can’t change today the gender imbalance
• We can make CS a much nicer place for women
to be
• We can do three simple things
1. Don’t be a jerk to women in CS
2. Don’t use sexist language
3. Understand that it’s not you who decides if you
are doing 1 or 2.
Monday, 7 October 13
27. Don’t be a jerk
• This is really simple to understand
• Unfortunately being a jerk to women in CS
is really widespread
• (I mean in the world, not St Andrews)
• I’m not going to provide examples
• it would take too long
Monday, 7 October 13
28. Don’t use sexist
language
• I mean this in two ways
• Don’t use language that implies CS people are men
• leads to the Computer Scientist and the
Cleaner
• leads to females feeling excluded
• and subtle biases as in the PNAS paper
• Don’t engage in sexist “banter”
Monday, 7 October 13
29. The Hofstadter Analogy
• If you’re not sure if language is sexist...
• ... swap men and women for black and white
• If the result is obviously racist
• ... the original was probably sexist
• A St Andrews example...
• Was it ok that a male only club made the rules of golf, including
for women?
• Would it have been ok that a white only club made the rules of
golf, including the rules for black people?
• I learnt this from:
• “A person paper on the purity of language”
• Doug Hofstadter

30. You don’t get to
decide...
3. Understand that it’s not you who decides if you are doing 1 or 2.
• This is really hard to understand
• Maybe you think somebody shouldn’t be offended when they tell
you they are
• Tough! Guess what, they were offended!
• You only have two options
• “I’m sorry, but I deeply believe that X is true so I stand by
what I said”
• “I’m sorry, I’ll try harder not to say things like that in future”
• Never say “Hey, it’s only banter”
Monday, 7 October 13
31. It’s not “banter”
• "Banter" is apparently a free pass: I can insult you, but you're not
allowed to be insulted, because "it's only banter". I can be
obscene, but you can't be offended, because "it's only banter".
No. If you're a grown-up, you know that your offensiveness may
offend, and you either accept that or you apologise and don't do
it again. Saying "it's only banter" makes you not only an idiot, but
an idiot who can't take responsibility for his own jokes.

32. Allies
• We need male computer scientists to be
“Allies”
• Men who think it’s important that both
women and men are treated right in
Computer Science
• http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Allies

33. Not just gender
• I’ve focussed on gender today
• But same could be said for disability, people
with mental health problems, race, sexual
orientation, age...
Monday, 7 October 13
34. Do not get me wrong...
If you are a male (straight white or otherwise), ...
I want you to have a fabulous time at St Andrews
I want you to get a first
I want you to have an amazing career in or out of computing
I just want the same for women and other groups at a disadvantage
And I want us all to work towards them not being at a disadvantage
