Description

Implicit gender bias in evaluations negatively impacts women at every stage of their career. The goal of this project is to create a web-based text-mining tool that scans and reveals language bias associated with evaluations and letters of recommendation written for trainees and applicants. Bringing awareness to the existence of implicit bias may impact how evaluations for women are drafted and judged, thereby providing a concrete way to tackle gender disparities.

Wonderful! I've tried to divide the issues into pieces that can be tackled with a single script. I could use help with web design, coding (using Python), and documentation. I'm on the Sprint gitter channel and on slack, so feel free to reach out with questions. Thanks for your interest!
