*(Gender Inequity) Women in Health Research
(NEW) 2020 – (Sample Cards | Download game and rules* | Purchase)…
This deck, hosted by the Michael Smith Laboratories, is a STARTER deck for a hand building game that looks at the challenges in gender inequity from a health perspective. This includes topics that look at societal elements as well as those with a medical angle. This deck is a stand alone game, and was designed to showcase a more authentic and therefore more thought provoking take at diversity issues.
*Note that the game is played in similar fashion to the Phylo GSA deck and the Phylo WWEST WISE deck (see game play here), except that there is an addition of a mechanic that divides negative cards from positive cards (see downloadable rules above for more details).
POSITIVE MODIFIER
.Some countries have enacted policies that allows both parents to take parental leave at the same time. These kinds of policies aim to even out the disadvantages in career advancement that come with extended absences from work.
NEGATIVE MODIFIER
.A double blind study* using resumés where female and male names were randomly switched, showed that there was bias towards males in things like competence and hireability.
