Evans Seminar: Dr. Elizabeth Bell To Present Research on Gender-based Bureaucratic Discrimination(1/10/24)
Posted: 1/5/2024 (Local Events)
The Evans School of Public Policy & Governance at UW will be hosting it’s first winter seminar on Wednesday, Jan 10th from 11:30- 12:30pm in Parrington Hall 360. Dr. Elizabeth Bell is an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin in the LBJ School of Public Affairs. Her talk is titled “Gender-based Bureaucratic Discrimination: Evidence from Title IX Implementation”. A key frontier for public administration research is determining what factors exacerbate and alleviate bureaucratic discrimination in citizen-state interactions. In this study, Dr. Bell finds that ambiguity/complexity in client cases exacerbates gender-based discrimination among Title IX coordinators dealing with sexual misconduct cases. This study reveals a key underlying mechanism of discrimination that may be addressed through changes in policy design.
