Nearly ninety 90 per cent of all people across the world, both men and women, are prejudiced against women; the United Nations Development Programme (2020) report calls this ‘a deeply ingrained bias’. In universities across the globe, instructor gender has been demonstrated as playing a key influential role in shaping student ratings. As such, women are particularly vulnerable to the impact of gender-biased teacher evaluations. It is well known that student ratings of teaching can determine career outcomes for higher education teachers as they are frequently used to measure so-called teaching effectiveness. Student evaluation data are profoundly defective and biased against women – cisgender, transgender, non-binary, gender-neutral, agender, gender-fluid and gender-queer individuals are likely impacted by the gender bias evident in these types of surveys. However, in this chapter I am going to focus predominantly on the fundamental bias against female academics. The inherent bias of these evaluations against women, and further intersectionalities of race, class, age, ability and disability, form a conglomerate of biases and prejudice which perpetuates barriers to workplace gender equality which directly impact on women. These prejudiced teacher evaluations are akin to some students ‘tarring and feathering’ female academics whom they perceive may have slighted them at some juncture during the semester, for example through perceived low grades. This chapter provides a juxtaposition of amalgamated lived-experience narratives of women teaching in academia to situate the narrated ‘realities’ of gendered experiences in relation to relevant literature linking to gender bias against women in these evaluations of teaching. Throughout the literature, student evaluations are regarded as fundamentally flawed due to these inherent well-recognized biases. Yet, institutions continue to perpetuate misogynistic student evaluation practices despite seemingly being progressive in implementing institutional policies supposedly addressing bias against women.
