核心研究生水平的研讨会，在许多方面，建立了学者进入一个学科的经典文献。在美国政治的研究中，这部经典的内容在各个部门和教师之间有很大的不同，对研究生所接触的观点有重要的影响。在基本层面上，作者的人口特征，其工作分配可以有一个重大影响的多样性（或缺乏多样性）的观点在这些介绍课程。使用一个独特的数据集来自核心美国政治研究生研讨会在高排名的大学的调查，该项目评估了作者的性别多样性，其研究是目前教的整体和主题和副主题的综合列表。我们还评估了“实质性的代表性”的妇女（和其他代表性不足的群体）在美国政治佳能通过检查的频率与性别，种族和其他形式的身份政治教这些入门课程。
Core graduate-level seminars, in many ways, establish the canon literature for scholars entering a discipline. In the study of American Politics, the contents of this canon vary widely across departments and instructors, with important implications for the perspectives to which graduate students are exposed. At a basic level, the demographic characteristics of the authors whose work is assigned can have a major impact on the diversity (or lack of diversity) of viewpoints presented in these introductory courses. Using a unique dataset derived from a survey of core American Politics graduate seminars at highly-ranked universities, this project assesses the gender diversity of the authors whose research is currently taught-overall and within a comprehensive list of topics and subtopics. We also assess the "substantive representation" of women (and other underrepresented groups) within the American Politics canon by examining the frequency with which gender, racial, and other forms of identity politics are taught in these introductory courses.
