  12. Irv Peckham mentions that he is looking for citations/evidence that women
  13. and/or minorities speak out less in the classroom. Sorry I don't have
  14. any studies' names to offer, but I have seen information published on
  15. studies done at Vassar that show that, even though it was originally a
  16. Seven Sisters' school, once it went coed, the percentage of classtime devoted
  17. to men's questions became equal to the national average.Given the opportunity,
  18. even professors that had worked at Vassar for years recognized and answered
  19. male students more often in class than female.
  20.  
  21. maybe if you looked for material on Vassar you could find the citations
  22. for the "national" studies to which they were comparing their results?
