Doctoral Dissertation Research: Gender-Specific Period, Cohort, and Institutional Effects in the Production of Criminological Knowledge

本研究旨在了解社会力量如何在个人和集体层面上塑造奖学金。 具体而言，它将考虑性别，生命历程的影响，和体制机制之间的关系，以及它们如何影响犯罪学知识。 它来自早期NSF资助的研究，该研究分析了领先期刊上的1，612篇关于犯罪的文章。 拟议的项目将调查原始数据集的作者和其他学者，以补充文章数据集与作者数据集（N= 1，500）。 与著名犯罪学家进行的试点深入访谈为调查工具的构建提供了信息。 拟议的研究涉及额外的访谈，特别是与女性犯罪学家的访谈。除了知识，思想，性别和犯罪学社会学的智力收益，更广泛的影响，预计调查结果可能会告知战略，提高妇女在学术界的地位，并在促进对妇女与实践的联系的理解。

This research seeks to understand how social forces operating at individual and collective levels shape scholarship. Specifically, it will consider relationships between gender, life course effects, and institutional mechanisms, and how they affect criminological knowledge. It derives from earlier NSF-funded research which content analyzed 1,612 articles on crime in leading journals. The proposed project will survey authors of the original dataset and additional scholars to supplement the article dataset with an author dataset (N=1,500). Pilot in-depth interviews with prominent criminologists inform the construction of a survey instrument. The proposed research involves additional interviews, particularly with female criminologists. Beyond intellectual gains for the sociology of knowledge, ideas, gender, and criminology, broader impacts are expected as findings may inform strategies of enhancing the status of women in academia and in advancing understanding of academia-practice links.
