With rent control in the news, it’s a good moment to recall the research of @rebeccadiamond.bsky.social and co-authors.

Do profs respond to student evaluations?

On average? Nope.

Those who have a more positive view of their own teaching do.

But all of these responses are driven by the female teachers.

"Male teachers appear to be unresponsive to student feedback."

"How to Write a Title and Abstract"

Feel free to share this thread, which will focus on titles.

Proud to have named this new seminar series designed to help education researchers navigate the new landscape we're in.

I hope the name conveys the optimism that there is a destination worth reaching on the other side of this.
