Implicit bias and the recreation of inequality in society

Research has for a long time pointed out how implicit bias contribute to maintaining gender inequality (and inequality in general) in society. The knowledge exists but can be perceived as controversial because it often means that we need to question things that many of us have assumed without further reflection. Below we collect some articles that highlight parts of our interactions where both women and men risk recreating inequality. The same mechanisms can be noted for all groups that are at different levels in society and are probably an important part of the explanation for why it seems to take so long time to achieve an equal society.
