【 摘 要 】

Many scholars and calls to action focus on interventions that address disparities faced by minoritized faculty in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The fate of women in the social sciences has received much less attention, in part because gender inequities are assumed to not be a problem there. This Research Topic counters these assumptions by providing demonstrations of and examining contributors to gender inequities. First, Fox Tree and Vaid describe the ways in which institutions founded by and for White men do not serve women and racialized faculty and how a focus exclusively on gender prevents understanding intersectional inequities and experiences. In their call for robust datasets (that, for example, go beyond the gender binary) they note that even in fields where there is gender parity, women of color are underrepresented.
