Gendering the Research Pipeline

女性、变性人和非双重身份的人在学术界担任高级职位的比例偏低，只有25%的英国教授认为自己是女性。在学术漏水管道的每一个部分，由于学术界的系统性偏见和歧视，女性研究人员离开的人数都超过了她们的男性同事。劳拉的博士研究考察了管道泄漏的开始以及英国博士生的性别多样性，因为他们通常不是研究的重点。利用大英图书馆的博士论文记录(ETHOS)，这是来自英国大学的50多万篇博士论文的集合，将使用姓名到性别的检测算法和图像处理从ETHOS记录上的作者姓名推断作者的性别。在此之后，将建立一个多层次的模型，以建立跨学科、部门和机构级别的博士生的性别多样性，以检查多样性如何在智力和地理空间中变化。

Women, transgender, and non-binary people are underrepresented in senior roles within academia with only 25% of UK professors identifying as women. At every part of the academic leaky pipeline, female researchers leave in larger numbers than their male colleagues because of systematic biases and discrimination within academia. Laura's PhD research examines the beginning of the leaky pipeline and the gender diversity of UK doctoral students, as they are not often the focus of research. Using the British Library's records on PhD theses (EThOS), a collection of over 500,000 doctoral theses from UK universities, the sex of the author will be inferred from their name on the EThOS record using name-to-gender detection algorithms and image processing. Following this a multilevel model will be built to establish the gender diversity of PhD students across disciplinary, departmental, and institutional levels to examine how diversity has varied across intellectual and geographical spaces.
