Almost 40 years ago, scholars identified a “chilly climate” for women in college classrooms. To examine whether this chilly climate persists for women in contemporary college classrooms, Jennifer Jiwon Lee 17 and Associate Professor of Sociology Janice McCabe observed nine Dartmouth classrooms across multiple disciplines.
