The primary goal of this paper is to introduce ethical practices engaged by the Feminist Research Collective (FRC) so that we might push into the theoretical dialogue on feminist ethics. The authors offer a corrective to feminist communitarian ethics that advances its justice potential through research by both critiquing and developing feminist…

Most infants exhibit an attentional bias for faces and fearful facial expressions. These biases reduce toward the third year of life, but little is known about the development of the biases beyond early childhood. We used the same methodology longitudinally to assess attention disengagement patterns from nonface control pictures and faces…

Matching the identity of unfamiliar faces is important in applied identity verification tasks, for example when verifying photo ID at border crossings, in secure access areas, or when issuing identity credentials.

It is important to be able to identify research results likely to have been arrived at by means of "'p'-hacking," a common term for research and reporting practices (such as the selective reporting of results) that are biased toward finding "p" < [alpha]. This paper discusses and demonstrates "'p'-curving," a means…

Curricular justice, achieved through a counter-hegemonic curriculum that serves the needs of the least rather than most advantaged members of society, plays a central role in providing more equitable access to meaningful education for all young people. We contend that the defining features of the contemporary schooling context in many parts of the…

Guidance for schools now includes policy to address sexual harassment and statutory requirements to deliver relationships and sex education, yet recent evidence shows that sexual harassment, in schools and online, remains a pernicious problem. Why does educating for gender equality feel like resistance, and what are educators actually resisting?…

In a polarized society, it is a university's responsibility to offer courses that explore highly controversial issues. Traditional forms of debate may create barriers to knowledge and entrenchment of perspectives, with students self-limiting their ability to develop informed opinions. We describe an active learning, double-blinded approach to…

In higher education, student evaluation surveys are an important tool for the assessment and improvement of teaching. Despite decades of investigation, research has yet to resolve disagreement about gender bias in student evaluations.

This paper provides a narrative review of recent studies (2005-2020) into the content of contemporary, mainstream pornography. Sex acts, such as vaginal sex, fellatio, and external ejaculation are ubiquitous within mainstream pornography. Cunnilingus, solo masturbation, or masturbation of a partner are all also relatively common. Condom use is…

Cultural routines, such as reading and writing direction (script direction), channel attention orientation. Depending on one's native language habit, attention is biased from left-to-right (LR) or from right-to-left (RL). Here, we further document this bias, as it interacts with the spatial directionality that grounds time concepts. We used a…
