As I continue to draft my notes for this newsletter on gender and math (pray for me), it is really amazing to see just how many depthful 2005-onward pieces were published by researchers in achievement refuting Larry Summers' statements of that year, and how little they've remained in popular consciousness vs his remarks
@grimalkina
Considering Larry Summers just got kicked out of the warmth for being very icky in some of the released Epstein emails, this seems like a very opportune moment to write about people who disproved his prejudices.
Though, the way these things go there's probably a backlash coming.
@tobychev that's what I thought too. Topic is evergreen but also very now. Mostly I feel a sense of responsibility to try to say what I think with the privilege of my degrees so those with less protection than I have can point to it
@grimalkina
Good luck with finishing the draft!
But don't feel too stressed about it, arguably all these people who made the work you are citing are further up the chain of responsibility :)
@tobychev thank you ❤️
