Gendering the Research Pipeline

女性，跨性别和非二元人群在学术界的高级职位中代表性不足，只有25%的英国教授认为自己是女性。在学术泄漏管道的每一个部分，由于学术界的系统性偏见和歧视，女性研究人员的离职人数都比男性同事多。劳拉的博士研究探讨了泄漏管道的开始和英国博士生的性别多样性，因为他们往往不是研究的重点。使用大英图书馆的博士论文记录（EThOS），收集了来自英国大学的50多万篇博士论文，作者的性别将使用姓名到性别检测算法和图像处理从EThOS记录上的姓名推断。在此之后，将建立一个多层次的模型，以建立跨学科，部门和机构层面的博士生的性别多样性，以研究多样性如何在知识和地理空间的变化。

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.
