The Classroom Climate: A Chilly One for Women?
Definition
- In 1982, the Association of American Colleges studied the status of women in higher education and released the report, The Classroom Climate: A Chilly One for Women? The book defined the chilly environment as one inhospitable to women in higher education classrooms resulting from both deliberate and unconscious discrimination by professors, fellow students, and by past socialization in K-12 education. Instructors' chilling behaviors include ignoring of the contributions of women to the discipline, use of male-specific pronouns and language, sexist humor, and stereotypical examples of women's and men's roles.
