I wonder how many PHDs who were "first generation college students" get similar biases?
It seems like as I see studies like these (not on citations, but on employment issues in general) that the most disadvantaged (is this right term?) or subjected to bias are race, sex, first generation college studetns. It seems like this might carry over into academia as a professor. Thoughts?
