Fascinating research on how often and for what reasons female economists are interrupted while presenting their work. Obviously this has applications outside economics. Nice to see actual hard data backing this up, instead of being gaslit about how it's all in our minds.
Here’s what they found:
Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20% in economics seminars.
Those interruptions are more likely to:
- Cut women off mid-sentence
- Come from men
- Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature
