Case-Based Questions
1. Workplace Dynamics:
- Case: A company where male employees are frequently praised for assertiveness while female employees are often criticized for the same behavior.
- Question: How does language used in performance reviews and feedback perpetuate gender stereotypes and affect the career progression of women? What changes can be made to create a more equitable evaluation system?
2. Media Representation:
- Case: A popular television series that consistently uses gendered language and roles.
- Question: Analyze the impact of this language on viewers' perceptions of gender roles. What are the potential long-term societal effects, and how can media producers create more balanced representations?
3. Educational Settings:
- Case: A school where teachers unconsciously use more encouraging and positive language with boys than with girls in STEM classes.
- Question: How does this disparity in language use influence students' confidence and interest in STEM fields? What interventions could help mitigate these biases?
