Anne Boring is Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Research Affiliate at the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Public Policies (LIEPP) at Sciences Po, Paris. Her research focuses on gender issues in higher education and the labor market. She started studying the impact of gender biases and stereotypes in higher education at Sciences Po, within the context of a European-funded research project called Effective Gender Equality in Research and the Academia (EGERA). In several research projects, she has studied the impact of gender stereotypes and biases on student evaluations of teaching, on students’ higher educational choices, and on the development of students’ leadership skills and entrepreneurial interests. She has also been testing and measuring the impact of interventions designed to reduce the impact of gender stereotypes and biases in higher education.
Anne Boring has taught many courses in economics over the past ten years, mainly in microeconomics. She also taught for several years a workshop for soon-to-be and newly minted graduates called Advice for women entering the professional world. She draws on the findings of academic research to highlight the main obstacles that women frequently face when entering the workforce. Anne Boring defended her PhD in economics at the University Paris Dauphine in July 2012.
