There is a lot of discussion of bias in economics. This discussion is justified & needed. What I can add to this is some stories on how economists treat people from outside the field. Let me share with you a few bone chilling stories of what I’ve been through 🧵/1 #EconTwitter

Women face more frequent and hostile questions than men when presenting economic research, a new study found.

It’s the latest addition to a mounting body of evidence of gender discrimination in economics.

[Ben Casselman @bencasselman]

Still more evidence of sexism in economics, and what it looks like at the ground level: Women face more and harsher questions when presenting their research.

[Rafe Meager (they/them) @economeager]

I love seminar questions, but I don't love having my seminars derailed by hostile grandstanding nor do I like seeing it happen to other women. It's been my observation that this does happen more to women and men of colour, glad to see some data on it. https://t.co/KTn8C33ia2

[Shelly Lundberg @ShellyJLundberg]

A short thread about diversity in economics: Many departments and research units have been working on diversity and inclusion statements this year. Some statement drafts explicitly attribute econ's lack of diversity to discrimination, inequitable treatment, systematic bias, etc.
