Abstract (De)
Academic recruitment practices have been on the agenda since almost two decades, including the idea that recruitment committees have to be trained on the issue of implicit bias. However, what has been neglected so far are the social practices through which bias against female academics is performed by the members of the recruitment committees. As research shows, criteria and the best fit to these criteria are created, criticized and also stabilized in situ in the recruitment committee.
In this workshop Julia Nentwich first provides a concise introduction to the concept of social practices in recruiting committees and as well an overview on empirical findings so far. Second, Verena Witzig introduces St. Gallen’s recently developed training tool tackling implicit bias in social practices. The online simulation takes players through situations in appointment processes and provides training on how to recognize and to react to biased decision-making.
