Representation of women in the field of legislative studies is remarkably small: the proportion of women in the Legislative Studies Section (LSS) of the American Political Science Association (APSA) is only 22%, third from the bottom in a recent ranking of APSA sections. To solve the problem of the small numbers of women studying legislative politics, we have formed a team of scholars and developed a set of goals and implementation strategies. The first of these is the “Improving Gender Equality in Legislative Studies Hackathon and Collaboration Workshop.” The intellectual merit of this workshop focuses on highlighting the intellectual research contributions of female scholars whose work is often obscured by their small numbers and building future research networks and collaborations among scholars whose work is myriad but sometimes siloed in the field. Greater gender equality in legislative studies has broad impacts as it makes legislative politics a more attractive field of study for young scholars in the discipline, brings more diverse perspectives on legislatures to undergraduate curriculums, and produces more diverse research that is conveyed to the public through various mediums—books, articles, blog posts, editorials, news media interviews, etc.Representation of women in the field of legislative studies is remarkably small: the proportion of women in the Legislative Studies Section (LSS) of the American Political Science Association (APSA) is only 22%, third from the bottom in a recent ranking of APSA sections. To solve the problem of the small numbers of women studying legislative politics, we have formed a team of scholars and developed a set of goals and implementation strategies. The workshop will provide an opportunity for scholars of legislative politics to share current research on congress, state legislatures, and comparative legislatures, areas that are often siloed in the field rather than brought together collaboratively. It also aims to spotlight the work being done by women studying legislatures, as much of the new and different research being done in the field of legislative studies is being done by women but women’s small numbers in the field sometimes obscure their contributions. And it brings together female scholars of legislatures in all three research areas in order to encourage intellectual contributions that bridge across them.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

妇女在立法研究领域的代表性非常小：美国政治学协会立法研究科的妇女比例仅为22%，在最近的美国政治学协会各部门排名中倒数第三。为了解决学习立法政治的妇女人数少的问题，我们组建了一个学者小组，并制定了一套目标和执行战略。其中第一项活动是“在立法研究中促进两性平等黑客和协作讲习班”。本次研讨会的学术价值侧重于突出女性学者的智力研究贡献，她们的工作往往因人数少而被掩盖，并在工作繁多但有时在该领域孤立的学者之间建立未来的研究网络和合作。立法研究中更大的性别平等具有广泛的影响，因为它使立法政治成为该学科年轻学者更有吸引力的研究领域，为本科生课程带来了更多样化的立法观点，并产生了更多样化的研究，通过各种媒介传达给公众-书籍，文章，博客文章，社论，新闻媒体采访，妇女在立法研究领域的代表性非常小：美国政治学协会立法研究科的妇女比例仅为22%，在最近的一次美国政治学协会立法研究科排名中倒数第三。为了解决学习立法政治的妇女人数少的问题，我们组建了一个学者小组，并制定了一套目标和执行战略。该研讨会将为立法政治学者提供一个机会，分享当前对国会，州立法机构和比较立法机构的研究，这些领域通常在该领域孤立，而不是协同合作。它还旨在突出妇女研究立法机构所做的工作，因为在立法研究领域正在进行的许多新的和不同的研究是由妇女进行的，但妇女在该领域的人数很少，有时掩盖了她们的贡献。它汇集了所有三个研究领域的立法机构的女学者，以鼓励跨越它们的智力贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
