Feminist Files - The first-class degree gender awarding gap.

'In this episode, host Faith Cunningham talks with Izzy Webb Adams and Caela Ibata about their view of the gender awarding gap found by a report from the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI). The report, entitled ‘No magic bullet’: An investigation into the first-class degree gender awarding gap at Oxford and Cambridge and how to address it’, sheds some light on why men are more likely than women to achieve first-class degrees at Oxford and Cambridge. We discuss what forms this phenomenon takes in the English Literature tripos.
