  In this position paper, we argue for the need to investigate if and how
gender stereotypes manifest in search and recommender systems.As a starting
point, we particularly focus on how these systems may propagate and reinforce
gender stereotypes through their results in learning environments, a context
where teachers and children in their formative stage regularly interact with
these systems. We provide motivating examples supporting our concerns and
outline an agenda to support future research addressing the phenomena.
