Gender Bias In Linguistics ArticlesAn examination of undergraduate textbooks commonly used for linguistics courses and another of over 1,000 articles published in linguistics journals finds persistent gender bias. Gender bias is subjective, which makes it both ironic and ideal for a linguistics paper.

Even when you are conscious of implicit bias you are still doing it, the belief goes. read more read more

The explanation is new, too: instead of the traditional link between poverty and crime, this crime wave has more to do with policy. Virtually all the cities with the most notable crime outbreaks — San Francisco, Seattle, ... read more
