Information on unconscious bias and gender and racial schemas:

• Tutorials for Change (Hunter College) presents four tutorials on gender schemas and science careers. They can be taken online or downloaded for later use.
• The Implicit Association Test (Harvard University) measures the strength of association between concepts, and is based on the premise that associated concepts will be easier to categorize together than unassociated ones. Brief tests on a variety of subjects, including gender bias, can be taken.
• "Bias Literacy: A review of concepts in research on discrimination" by Ruta Sevo and Daryl Chubin is a 25-page digest of the evidence for discrimination, especially with reference to women in science and engineering. It can be downloaded as a PDF and freely distributed with proper attribution.
• Beyond Bias and Barriers: Fulfilling the Potential of Women in Academic Science and Engineering (National Academies Press) is a recent national report that can be purchased as a hardback book or as a downloadable PDF.
