Today Tonight did a 5-minute story last night on my name discrimination research (with Alison Booth and Elena Varganova). The video should be up on their website for the next day or so.

TT? Is that a reason to read your paper or not?

@Jim: The TT summary of the research is alright (since most of the time they let Andrew present it), interspersed with some hard-luck stories from job-seekers who’ve been discriminated against.
It’s a fascinating paper, though I fear my discrimination-o-meter is out of whack: I don’t know any* Middle Eastern Nadines, Italian Annas or Angelas, and the Indigenous names (Betty, Winnie, Daisy, Dorothy, Peggy, Bobby, Jimmy, Tommy, Wally, Ronnie) made me think of the 1920-1950s more than anything else.
*The ones I do know are Anglos and/or Chancellors of Germany.
