As women and gender studies students emerge as citizens of the world, how can we educate them on scholarly communication issues?

Employing the Goldberg paradigm, participants read identical leadership speeches attributed to either a woman or a man described as either a minority (Black or Latino/a) or a majority (White) group member. Results show SDO negatively predicted evaluations of minority …
