I've entered my first graduate recruitment season as a professor, and I am going to go crazy reading these rec letters. Writers, please remember...

Avoiding gender bias in reference writing:
- Mention research & publications
- Keep it professional
- Don't stop now!
- Stay away from stereotypes

- Emphasize accomplishments, not effort
- Be careful raising doubt
- We all share bias

Adjectives to avoid:
caring, compassionate, hard-working, conscientious, dependable, diligent, dedicated, tactful, interpersonal, warm, helpful, successful, excellent, accomplished, outstanding, skilled, knowledgeable, insightful, resourceful, confident, ambitious, independent, intellectual
