改善女性和少数民族在公共卫生大学的职业发展一直是一个长期的挑战，我们认为可以通过将教职员工多样性数据纳入大学排名来解决这一问题。我们介绍了对世界上排名最高的15所社会科学和公共卫生大学在职业发展方面的性别相关和种族相关差异的混合方法调查的结果，包括对性别和种族之间的交集的分析。我们的研究显示，尽管报告了许多多样性政策和行动计划，但最高学术职位上仍然存在明显的性别和种族差异。在所有大学中，女性代表在中等和高级学术水平之间下降，尽管初级水平的女性人数超过了男性。少数民族妇女的劣势可能会扩大，因为少数民族学者在初级职位中只占很小的比例，而且少数民族妇女的比例随着资历的增长而下降。
Improving the career progression of women and ethnic minorities in public health universities has been a longstanding challenge, which we believe might be addressed by including staff diversity data in university rankings. We present findings from a mixed methods investigation of gender-related and ethnicity-related differences in career progression at the 15 highest ranked social sciences and public health universities in the world, including an analysis of the intersection between sex and ethnicity. Our study revealed that clear gender and ethnic disparities remain at the most senior academic positions, despite numerous diversity policies and action plans reported. In all universities, representation of women declined between middle and senior academic levels, despite women outnumbering men at the junior level. Ethnic-minority women might have a magnified disadvantage because ethnic-minority academics constitute a small proportion of junior-level positions and the proportion of ethnic-minority women declines along the seniority pathway.
