Cecilia Rouse

Economist — blind orchestra audition research (name spelled 'Celia Ruse' in source)

Economist whose research on blind orchestra auditions found that adding a physical screen between conductor and musician — removing visual bias entirely — raised the share of women selected for orchestra positions by 50%. Given in the transcript as "Celia Ruse," likely a mis-transcription of economist Cecilia Rouse. Referenced, not interviewed, in this episode. See Cecilia Rouse Blind Orchestra Audition Study.
