Thanks all-I expect most of us share this view.  Alas, this fellow needs empirical research.  Any leads appreciated!

In my graduate nursing course (53 females/7 males), I have not found depressed female participation to be an issue :)  One might assume depressed male participation would be observed, but I have not found this to be the case.  RLH

Friends,

There is a TBL'er who was recently saying a few words to his department about TBL and was told that he was "was depressing female and minority participation by engaging in group learning."

I don't believe this charge has merit, and gave him a few reasons why, but he asks "Can you recommend a handful of representative articles (if there are such) on the dynamics of women and people of color in group learning environments (TBL or other)?"

Anyone got some at their fingertips?
